Edith Karlson -Drama is in your head-
"In Edith Karlson's sculptural practice, animals and men are the main protagonists. Her often large-scale sculptural pieces produced by means of mixed techniques show a variety of characters, from colorful
dogs to naked humans. However, these never stand alone as mere representations, but are composed into intricate installations. Like in the old mythologies, the creatures in Karlson's works are tied into
tangled interaction, as if telling their own modern day folklore and legends. The work on show at SlaM, Drama is in your head (2011), is the latest of Karlson's productions, originally shown at the Stalker
festival in Tallinn past summer. Compared to her previous works, the piece strikes as more stripped down and rough, exposed industrial materials creating a lab-like atmosphere. While the black dog located
on the periphery of the installation resembles the large-scale animals in Karlson's previous works, the centerpiece of the work represents human body in a completely different way. Here, man is dismantled:
wooden planks support huge brains from which streams of blood are continuously flowing into various-sized industrial buckets. Reducing the subjective evaluation of human intellect and emotions to mere
biology, Drama is in your head reminds us that objectivity is often perceived in purely rational scientific terms. It also warns of the fact that the flesh and blood that constitute humans—when separated from the unexplained and the unreasonable—amount to little more than a laboratory."
