About the work: Vanessa Joan Müller, curator and author

Emma Hummerhielm Carlén, runner-up of the PARALLEL VIENNA | Bildrecht YOUNG ARTIST Award 2024, operates in the in-betweenness, establishes connections, and liberates materials from the fixed forms of their existence.

She creates a visual and material language in a continuous process of emergence. Repetitions in forms and materials serve as a common thread while remaining temporary. Corners, edges, casts, and coatings are constantly evolving configurations in her work.

Only within the exhibition space do they find themselves in a moment of stillness—a brief pause within themselves. What happens next in the studio remains open. Not everything is neatly archived. Some things are melted down, rebuilt; others remain. An existence in the constant flux of the Extended Field of Sculpture¹ — artist and work at the same time.
