Kristoffer Svenberg

Kristoffer Svenberg  //  Secular Surface















In the ‘Secular Surface’ project, Kristoffer Svenberg has worked as a missionary for Christianity in Sri Lanka. Within the experience, the interaction between various roles and their performative effects were important. Secular Surface discusses dominant global power structures and is a form of activism.

In the Konstfack Degree Exhibition, Kristoffer is displaying two video works as the result of substantial study. The video work in itself is an infiltration into a specific video culture connected to the type of mission being managed. The missionaries consist of a group of Christian surfers and the video work goes by the title Secular Surface “Surfing the Nations” and The Beauty Saloon/The Barber Shop.

Secular Surface

I projektet Secular Surface har Kristoffer Svenberg arbetat som missionär för kristendomen på Sri Lanka. Inom den utövade praktiken har spelet mellan olika roller och dess performativa verkan varit viktig. Secular Surface diskuterar dominerande globala maktstrukturer och är en form av aktivism.

På Konstfacks Vårutställning ställer Kristoffer ut två videoverk som resultat av ett gediget utforskande. Videoverk som i sig är ett infiltrerande i en specifik videokultur kopplad till den typ av mission som bedrivits. Missionärerna består av en grupp kristna surfare och videoverken går under titlarna Secular Surface “Surfing The Nations” och The Beauty Saloon/The Barber Shop.
