Klara Liden’s (b. 1979, Stockholm) multidisciplinary practice evades straightforward  categorization, traversing a range of media including video, performance, sculpture, structural  intervention, and installation. The work often incorporates materials sourced from urban loci,  which are dismantled and reconfigured, rendered anew and ripe for re-encounter with an  inventive, at times playful verve – a process the artist describes as “unbuilding.” Engaging with  architecture and its environments, as well as the social constructs surrounding material  function, the practice centres around the body in relation to these elements. It is marked by an  enduring exploration of the physical and psychological bounds of inhabited space, both public  and private.
