- The sculpture [Prussian] BLUESHIFT - Space Debris 2551 takes its shape from the satellite Cosmos 2551. One of the biggest fragmentation events in space took place in 2009 when the abandoned satellite Cosmos 2251 and Iridium 33 collided, leading to the destruction of both satellites. To this day, over 1000 catalogued space debris objects from the collision circulate around the Earth and one of the orbits passes right over Öland. When an object in space moves towards us, the light from the object is called blueshift, which describes the change in the frequency of a light wave. The color of the sculpture is Prussian blue, which is on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines and is used as an antidote to certain heavy metals and radioactivity. The artistic research work questions ownership and responsibility for the pollution caused by colonisation and space tourism. Led by wealthy nations and private companies, this reflects the colonisation of the Earth whose negative impact on the environment and cultures we have yet to come to terms with. The sculpture is mostly created from recycled material from discarded student projects from the HDK-Valand art school and the Gothenburg Opera's metal textiles set design from the climate-smart production of The Ring of the Nibelung.
