Varför hör vi inte längre ljudet av symaskiner? I filmen 13 Related Sewing Machines möter vi en släkt där symaskinen alltid varit närvarande. Filmen är den tredje delen i ett pågående projekt om kvinnors osynliga arbete. I can´t hear the sound of your sewing machine anymore är en hyllning till min mor och min mormor och till alla kvinnor som ständigt har dåligt samvete för att de inte räcker till.

13 Related Sewing Machines is a part of an ongoing work about the invisible labour of women; I can’t hear the sound of your sewing machine anymore is a tribute to my mother, grandmother and to all the women who suffer from a constant bad conscience for not being good enough.

I’m making this sparetime useful by not making waste, performance, 2010, 2-8 hours, 4-8 channels
The performance is a way to use time for important work. I am repairing, taking care of my textiles and my clothes. I don´t want to buy new things anymore. I hate H&M and all cheap things that destroy our culture and the worlds economy. It is also a way to show some concentrated work and let people be in my world of focus.
