With Capsule, Luxembourg Art Week invests the vacant spaces of the city center. Jenny Johansson (born in 1982, Gothenburg) is a Swedish audiovisual artist working interdisciplinarily with collage, exploring material hierarchies and speculative historiography. Her process is characterized by DIY strategies and reflections on time, work, myth, and reality. In her poetic compositions, Johansson seeks to juxtapose contrasting ideas, thus creating space for new understandings of identity and memory. She examines mass industrial production in parallel with material hierarchies, speculative historiography, and popular art. Her compositions merge craftsmanship and digital technologies, exploring narratives blending humor and sincerity. Since 2018, she has developed works known as "technostones," referencing technofossils that refer to traces left by humans. Like a stonecutter or tattoo artist, she "pricks and inks" images and text collages using a barbecue stick, creating inscriptions in insulating panels. This relief craftsmanship is made of XPS cellular plastic, often used in road constructions, aiming to provoke reflection. Technostones can be perceived as contemporary runes, hunger stones, or massive oil paintings testifying to the temporalities of existence, where present, past, and future coexist.
