LOBBY presents:

A Place in Europe

[cid:2ea0a70d-a3e0-4c86-bfd9-6765a4656f73]

Cecilia Parsberg, Erik Pauser, Haval Murad and David Martinez Escobar
The artists Cecilia Parsberg and Erik Pauser, together with the architects Haval Murad and David Martinez Escobar, have created a sculptural installation that reflects cracks in society. The film sculpture Huset started its journey at Odenplan to continue in other public places in different cities in Sweden. The sculpture has the shape of a house that has turned over and looks like it is sinking. The short film 'A place in Europe' is shown on the underside of the sculpture. The film tells about a hidden place in a big city that has become a home for job-seeking migrants who have fallen between the cracks in Europe´s free movement. The narrator is Thomas, who for three years has sleeped in this place, with rats under a loading dock. Now he's about to be evicted. He represents those who want to do right by themselves: work, support their family, live a dignified life. Modern poverty force many to become nomads in European cities.
The artwork will be shown on Bredgatan between Täppan and Kåkenhus in Norrköping from 19 September, during the Culture Week and throughout October.
