In Aporia we find ourselves within a liminal space. A space where the imagined contains traces of the real, and the documentary is reminiscent of fiction. The origin of the word "aporia" is in ancient Greek meaning literally "without passage". This particular passage (or this journey) can be likened to a quest of finding a way out; to navigate in the dark with no sense of direction. At the same time there seems to be a search for something else, like a meaning or the 'core'. Throughout this journey we move between states of wakefulness and of dreaming. The exposition consists of photographs, moving images, notes from dream journalling, drawings, encyclopedic facts, and also a little fiction. Simultaneous to this journey through time and space and changing of states, an index of cross references is created. This index becomes an auto-biographical lexicon of sorts. The artistic research aims to create a new narrative, emerging from a dissolving reality. An attempt to dissolve the physical world and to enter this new space. Is this new reality less authentic than the actual reality, or could it be even closer to the truth?

Vattnet är helt stilla. Allt är öde.
Jag simmar mellan tomma huskroppar i en vattendränkt stad.
Bara de översta våningsplanen på de högsta höghusen är synliga ovanför vattenytan.
En enorm örnliknande fågel sveper ner.
Den har kraftiga ben och breda vingar.
Ljudlöst landar den på vattnet.
Jag simmar försiktigt närmare för att få se den mäktiga fågeln på nära håll,
men hamnar plötsligt
i strida vattenströmmar.
