akt / act (2011). Sound installation at Röda Sten Art Centre in Göteborg as part of "Pandemonium – Art in a Time of Creativity Fever", Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art. Voice: Josefine Erlingsson. Translation from text to sound: Josefine Erlingsson and Karolina Erlingsson.
"Kulning is an ancient vocal technique used by women in Scandinavia to call the cows home from summer pastures, but also to send messages to one another over great distances. This vocal technique has fascinated Karolina Erlingsson who has created a new sound piece for the biennial that conjures up a preindustrial era in the hills around Hisingen and the river Göta älv. This time, the kulning takes on a different meaning than in those days, which emulates the presence, echo and disappearance of voices that attempt to communicate with each other."
