12 SERIN A E RFJO RD Diktomania By utilizing the weight and mobility of the fabric Erfjord here collapse the real of the flag onto its motif, turning the symbolic function of the pictured brick wall on its head: The bricks are no longer a firm symbol of intransigence as they will invariably find themselves either draped around the pole or fluttering haplessly in the wind – making the flag a monument to the shallowness and dependency of our semantic constructs. Serina Erfjord (b. 1982, Erfjord, Norway) lives and works in Oslo, Norway, where she is currently finishing her master’s degree at the Art Academy. Her work is concerned with movement and materiality and how sculpture connects physically with the viewer; she introduces destabilizing kinetic elements to otherwise innocuous objects and arrangements. Her work has been shown at Entrée, Bergen; Small Projects, Tromsø; UKS, Oslo; Five thousand generations of birds, Fitjar; Electrohype, Malmö Konsthall and Ystad Konstmuseum Sweden.
