DET
BY
Annelie Wallin

In this film, Wallin have sought to dramatize a sequence of events, striving to the best of her ability to craft a horror feature.

Scene 1

A single droplet lies trembling on an empty surface. It begins to move, searching its way across the frame. Suddenly, a massive plant erupts, beginning to dominate the space. It appears intent on devouring the tiny drop, which flees off-screen to the right.

Scene 2

Here, small dollops of oatmeal lie fermenting in peace. From the left, a rapid slime mold enters, bolting down one after another in a relentless hunt for food. It stalks its prey, primes itself for the assault, and gorges like a beast. It grows large and powerful, utterly dominating the entire frame.

Scene 3

The slime mold shoots out it’s hyphae with force. This time, it finds no food; it’s momentum falters and settles into a stillness. All energy fades away and dies out.

About the artist

Annelie Wallin

Annelie Wallin is a Stockholm-based artist working across sculpture, video, and participatory installations. Her practice explores time, labor, and value hierarchies, often using materials—such as biological slime molds—as co-creators. By setting specific premises for both organisms and humans, she investigates the interplay between freedom, control, and the transformation of space.”

Wallin works with drawing, sculpture, photography, and video. She is interested in processes where art becomes a means to explore time, labor, value hierarchies, and established notions— using art as a method to dissolve and merge these into new formations and positions.

She often wants materials to create conditions to which one must relate, in the same way that she can create the conditions for a participatory and process-based work. By establishing certain premises, Wallin invite others to act within them, as seen in the work ‘Gistnande’ or when she enticed a slime mold to spell a certain message like ‘Hello World’.

Wallin regularly hold solo exhibitions at IDI:galleri. She creates outdoor participatory and process based art installations and also work with public art commissions. Since 2015, She has worked with slime molds through photography and video, studying them and drawing inspiration from their essence and expression. She has sought to capture their movement in drawings and sculptures, particularly in the exhibition ‘In Motion’ (I rörelse) in 2021.
