Maja Andersson, Sweden

Maja Andersson is a visual artist, with the body as a central part of her practice. She

has worked with performance art and is continuously exploring different mediums

and forms of expression. She uses video, photography, fabrics, clay, sometimes in

combination. The point of entry to her work is feelings as a state of mind, or a physical feeling in the body. By entering these feelings and sensations, she explores what is inside of us, and how we relate to it – willingly or unwillingly.


Lämnad omsorg, video 2025

Lämnad omsorg is an act of compassion, an attempt to care for something that has already come to an end. A performance in which, with the help of a ladder, I offer care to a tree. I searched for something to look after, something that could receive my care. There, in the clearing, I found it: a tree that was wounded, even dead. I leave behind red ribbons torn from the clothes I was wearing. The ribbons are left behind, and so is my care.
