16.-21.06.16: Garage Nation – Ilja Karilampi
 
The work by Swedish artist Ilja Karilampi investigates notions from everyday life, nightlife, social media, etc., which characterise our zeitgeist. He grasps their essential core and reinterprets it in new forms, often as sculpture or installation, outside of its original context. Like this, one can find words, names or text fragments in his pieces which originate from an online and youth culture and tell narrative about the contemporary day-to-day life that runs through his body of work like a golden thread. In this process, he manages to make the choice in a way that his work equally intrigues members of this scene, as well as people who are strangers to this environment.
