THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL

Skövde 2025

Invited by Live Action to participate in the new Culture and Sports Festival in Skövde. 

I invited people to walk on a red carpet and step onto the top of a winner's podium to receive a medal in a ceremonial manner. The ceremony consisted of me pretending to play trumpet, and the medal was a paper star with a small text attached with gold thread.

The texts said things like "Your lungs vibrate with the rhythm of infinity" or "Like a living symphony of stardust and hope, you walk through the world."

My son Josef was assisting me as the star boy holding the medals.

Other participating artists were Joakim Stampe and Berith Stennabb
