SLUTDESTINATION – Liza Shkirando

Through irony and camp—because nothing about this is lagom—Slutdestination explores the intersections of intimacy, objectivization, and national identity. Moving between the deeply personal and the broadly political, this project is both a love letter and a critique – a reflection on my intimate relationship with Sweden and a journey through my personal history.

In today’s culture a human is valued through the prism of commodity fetishism, where bodies, emotions, and identities become objects of exchange. We fear complexity and differences – that’s what souvenirs, dating apps and state bureaucracy have in common. I invite the audience to confront these fears.

Premiere of THE LAST SUPPER: a new film in collaboration with Fennek Film

The Last Supper – named after the most famous meal in history – explores the vulnerability and humiliation that we all have to go through each and every day when we sit down to eat.

TILLS DÖDEN SKILJER OSS ÅT (performance)

On the first day of the exhibition the audience is invited to witness the creation of a video art piece through documentation of a live performance that will never be reproduced again.

Liza is creating a permanent archive of intimacy. This act of embodiment is both deeply personal and inherently political—challenging mononormative ideals, the transactional nature of relationships, and the bureaucratic notion of love as a pathway to Swedish citizenship.

Memories might fade but the body will remember.
