Texts by Annika Ström

<p>For the onestar press publication <em>Texts by Annika Ström</em> the artist collected a series of photographs of her text pieces like: “This work refers to no one,” “I love to live but not with me,” “I am a better artist than I deserve,” and “Everything in this show could be used against me.” The photos seem like they could be stills from one of her videos and the phrases could be lyrics from one of her love songs. Far from being a straightforward reproduction of her work, the text pieces are presented in various “lived” settings, often within an intimate context of her private surroundings and in the company of friends presenting her work or doing whatever they were doing, when the picture was taken.</p>
