Exhibition: Ulf Lundins «5–9» at FRAKT
FRAKT’s exhibition space at Sukkerbiten screens Ulf Lundin’s video work 5–9, depicting Swedish office workers outside working hours as embodiments of modern working life and the social-democratic ideals of routine and collectivity.
5–9 follows the everyday activities in an office building in the Stockholm area. Filmed secretly from a distance at night, Lundin gathered material over several weeks before editing the footage into a 27-minute continuous sequence. The result is a condensed reality in which time and space are manipulated. Lundin is not primarily interested in the office workers themselves; rather, they represent all of us, turning the gaze inward: how do we choose to live our lives?
