In the exhibition Diggy Diggy, Gustaf Nordenskiöld shows newly created “archaeological” ceramic objects which are reminiscent of fragments of domestic wares from earlier times and other finds dug up by archaeologists. To varying degrees the objects reveal the ravages of time or the forces of nature in the form of lichens, rust and erosion.
Gustaf Nordenskiöld has a special interest in things that have long been forgotten and which, when rediscovered, are given new meaning and placed in a context very different from their original surroundings.
