Artist's Eye
20 March - 1 May
In Lena Mattsson's exhibition and accompanying catalogue, the classic metaphor of the eyes as the mirror of the soul is deconstructed through a multifaceted exploration of the symbolism of the eye – where power and violence penetrate through the lens. Fearlessly, she asks the most difficult questions of existence and opens the door to the unspeakable.
