Annika Eriksson is a visual artist originally
from Malmö. In 2002 she received the DAAD artists in Berlin Program
and is since then living there. At the center of her artistic
practice is an interest in social interaction: how do we live
together, what kind of societies do we create, and what happens in
the margins or in the transition from one social order to
another? Her project also engages with the relations between
humans and animals; of our interdependence, slippages and
connection, but also registers of violation, and the animal as a
distinctively human projection surface.
