$Ellinor \u00c5slund: The Eternal Soup$

(scroll down for English)
Ellinor Åslunds Die Ewige Suppe er en surrealistisk dukketeater-opera sat i en bar, hvor en keramisk dukke, modelleret over kunstneren, fortæller fragmenter af sit liv – fra graviditet og fødsel til moderskab.
Scenen skifter: sygeplejersker, eventyrfigurer, spøgelser fra Trediveårskrigen, nationalistiske bogsælgere og bureaukrater mødes, og barnet spørger: "Mamma, vad finns inuti min kropp?" – "Darinne finns kött och ben och blod och hela vida världen."
Personlige erfaringer spejles i universelle temaer. Håndlavede porcelænsdukker, detaljeret ornamentering og lagdelt musik skaber en evig suppe af minder, drømme og politiske realiteter.
-----------------
Ellinor Åslund’s Die Ewige Suppe is a surreal puppet-theatre opera set in a bar, in which a ceramic puppet modelled on the artist recounts fragments of her life — from pregnancy and childbirth to motherhood.
The scene shifts: nurses, fairytale characters, ghosts from the Thirty Years’ War, nationalist booksellers, and bureaucrats meet, while the child asks: “Mamma, vad finns inuti min kropp?” — “Därinne finns kött och ben och blod och hela vida världen.” (“Inside there is flesh and bone and blood and the whole wide world.”)
Personal experiences mirror universal themes. Handmade porcelain puppets, intricate ornamentation, and layered music create an eternal soup of memories, dreams, and political realities.

Ellinor Åslund holds a MFA from Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi (2025). Recent exhibitions include shows at Four Boxes Gallery, Charlottenborg Kunsthal, Wilson Saplana Gallery and Jennifee-See Alternate.
Åslund works with sensual and grotesque world-building to convey poetic narratives through songs, video and baroque ceramics in installation and performance, through which she comments on social issues such as gender, motherhood, relationships and societal conventions and tensions.
