Maria Friberg "Fallout" October 12 - November 24, 2007 born in Malm�, Sweden, 1966 lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden From October 12th on Galerie Voss will present for the first time the work of Maria Friberg. The solo exhibition "Fallout" will show works from the photographic sector as well as a threepart video installation. In her work, the artist analyses the image of men in our society; she correlates classical male stereotypes with their surrounding in quite bewildering ways. The exhibition will show the series "Still Lives" and "Aware But Still There". Therein the well known gender roles - often enough associated with power, predominance and self-determination - are being shattered by their unusual performance. Moreover the gallers will show the video installation called "Embedded". Men are moving slowly in a heap of cushions - vanishing in the pillows and then resurfacing again. However, it is not exactly clear, if their being embedded means being safe and secure or if the men are rather being excluded from life and the world outside. As the artist says: "In contemporary society, information itself is embedded � it is simultaneously out in the open and hidden away".
