EARLY READING, 2018
Early Reading is based on a non-linear documentation of social structures and their different approaches to trust and fear. The book has a fragmentary structure based on shifts in perception through more or less abstract elements in relation to parts of the film ´Interbeing´ and documentation of the preparations ahead of demonstrations on May 1, 2016 to 2018 in central Stockholm. The material is presented through a thermal camera whose optics do not register what is visible to the eye but render shades of temperature, a perspective granting all living beings the same conditions of representation. The camera also makes a heat shadow visible upon and after physical touch. The heat remains, like traces of utmost commonality in attempts at making direct contact, as well as in public, everyday chance encounters.
