Lina Selander: The Space of Memory

“Making a book on Lina Selander’s works is not a far-fetched idea. As writing and traces of writing are interspersed in most of her works, and as the tension between word and image is of crucial importance to them, they seem to stir the desire to write about them. Sometimes during the editing process I had the feeling that books (or at least texts) about Selander are virtual in her works, that books and texts move as potential replies on the indexical level (as thoroughly analysed by Trond Lundemo) where the unseen and unspoken come together in an expression by unfolding a new temporality,forced as they are to give evidence to the events of the works and simultaneously struggle with their own discursive abilities and disabilities.” “Epilouge”, Fredrik Ehlin
