plant

Sofia Hultén's works are mostly based on everyday objects or found objects that she works on or arranges in a new context. She carefully examines the traces that can be found on the objects and assigns them to a chronological sequence. In her work, she examines the possibilities for action, for example by reversing the chronological order of changes in the objects. In this way she deals with the big question of space and time with minimal intervention.

Hultén creates video works, installations , sculptures and photographs .
