Description: Bristningar (Rupture) is the middle part of Katinka Goldberg's trilogy of works, in which she is 'exploring the tension between closeness and distance', trying, no less, to locate herself both within herself and within the world. The trilogy began with her book Surfacing (2011) which examined the relationship between herself and her mother, in a complex and highly poetic way. In Bristningar, she is making collages, which, like Hans Bellmer's, deconstruct and reassemble the body, but do so with a very different aim, a healing rather than a destructive or pathological purpose. And also a process of add and subtracting, or rather, of adding in order to subtract. 'I am trying to answer the question; how much can you take away of yourself without disappearing' How close can you get before the closeness becomes a distance??
