Anna Uddenberg: HOME WRECKERS

Working primarily in sculpture, installation and performance, Anna Uddenberg's practice and HOME WRECKERS exhibition reflects on taste and class, appropriation and sexuality, and explores the systemised replations of power and conventions of control in a technology-bound consumer culture.

The exhibition at The Perimeter is the first UK solo exhibition by the Berlin-based Swedish artist, presenting works made over the past seven years. Highlighting the abnormality of sexualising the female form in advertisements for homeware, HOME WRECKERS showcases the contrast between soft domestic furnishings and ten hypersexualised, overextended female figures.

Alongside the sculptures, Uddenberg presents her first ever film at The Perimeter, co-directed with Thyago Sainte, and made possible with additional support of Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum and Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler.

Speaking on her desire for her work to transcend representation, Uddenberg says "instead of representing something, I want to trigger something so that it becomes real in a way." As the lines between reality and fiction become increasingly blurred, Uddenberg suggests that maybe the fake is more authentic that whatever you think of as authentic.
