Introduction
The works by Annika Eriksson (born 1956 in Malmö, lives in Berlin) are created with the participation of persons or groups to whom she offers the opportunity to present themselves. This can entail brief theatrical or musical presentations, the description of one's own work or simply the presentation of one's self by means of name and profession. The presentations are filmed in front of a live camera and subsequently shown as videos. All presentations are based on a specific concept that determines their form and content. At the same time, a certain amount of free space is intentionally left available to the performers. Annika Eriksson, for example, invited various orchestras to play a free interpretation of the song »Sour Time« by the pop group Portishead. Because none of them had ever played pop music before, the task meant the prospect of creatively and radically dealing with a new challenge. In all of her projects, Annika Eriksson handles the question regarding the possibilities of authentic self-representations within pre-determined frameworks. For the Kunstverein Langenhagen, the artist will stage a situation during the exhibition opening in which selected persons will rehearse a performance in front of the camera. The visitors can observe this.
