In Mathilda Läckberg Holmquist’s artistic practice, photography is intertwined with various materials and objects to evoke collective memories of time and space. BRB (Be Right Back) is a term from early internet chat forums signaling temporary absence from the computer. In this work Läckberg Holmquist connects BRB to a sort of mental absence in one’s surroundings. The visual material is based on observations of fidgeting behaviors that emerge in such a state. By adding projections onto the images and then photographing them on screens, a dialogue is created between the content and the hyper-digital aesthetic.
