* 1982 in Stockholm, lives and works in Berlin
Through the feedback loop of consumerist culture Anna Uddenberg investigates how body culture, spirituality, and self-staging are intertwined with the mediation and production of subjectivity by new technologies and forms of circulation. Her practice is a space for reflecting on taste/class, appropriation, and sexuality, which integrates earlier approaches to gender theory while pushing these questions into new and intensively material territories. Transit Mode – Abenteuer explores performativity as an act that has been rehearsed, much like a script that people—as actors who make such as script a reality through repetition—come to perform in the mode of belief.
