in 2011, the police force a one-room apartment at kungsholmen in stockholm, after the neighbors alerted a stench. in the 25m2 large apartment they find 11 living swans.

 

the whole flock lived there with a woman who neighbors and other people saw feeding and carrying birds around the closely adjacent park for several years.

​

this piece is a fantasy about who she may have been, loosely based on newspaper articles and inspired by all mythical symbolism about the swan as an animal.

 

the inspiration for the work is autobiographical. all scenic links to the real events are pure occasions, and do not strive to portray actual events.
