Hilda Randulv’s Sunk in a Sea of Silver is a multimedia work rooted in her childhood experiences with epilepsy and drifting in and out of consciousness. Her fascination with the interplay between presence and absence appears in facial expressions that seem to vanish, emphasizing the subtlety of microexpressions. Interactive elements complicate the viewer’s perception of the subject, mirroring how external events triggered attacks that blurred her awareness and surroundings — moments she, as both the experiencer and artist, cannot remember yet wishes to understand.
Working within slow art, Randulv employs a twelve-step printing technique refined since 2021, combining analog photography with digital printing on self-prepared fabric. Each step of the work is executed by hand, deepening her connection to the materials and their symbolic meanings.
