In a model building I want to give thoughts around the reality, that we consider ours and look at it as a scenography to an imagined scenario. A scenario by nature occasional and perishable. What is behind it or what will happen when the decor moulds might not be a coming apocalypse but the creation of a new process. Another picture of what might happen when the show is over.
Johanna works with scenography for theatre, dance, film, photography and with her own projects and collaborations. She often explores rooms and objects together with the audience and her interest lies in exploring the role of sensory perception and psychic interaction that participants has with the work. Johanna trained Fine Art at Nyckelviksolan and Gerlesborgskolan in Stockholm before she studied Design for Performance at Central St Martins College of Art and Design in London. When she graduated 1999 she was nominated for the prestigious Linbury Prize For Stage Design. She works for a wide range of theaters in Sweden including Riksteatern. Orgel - 2015 years contribution is created together with Ida Lundén, composer and musician, active mainly in chamber music and electronic music. She was one of the founders of Syntjuntan and was 2011-2013 Composer in Residence at the Swedish Radio P2. Over the last few years she has received attention for her imaginative works for sometimes unusual combinations of instruments like viola and potatoes or bass singers and double basses.
