Milking the ashes, setting fire to the ground
Solo exhibition, Galleri Monitor, Gothenburg, January 2025

The birds land in the trees both inside and outside, the worms crawl in the dirt on both sides. But when you cross the threshold to the cemetery you enter a place of sorrow and reflection. Step into a place where the dialogue between life and death is ever present.

Collecting the flowers, gathering the branches, transforming the material, milking the ashes, setting fire to the ground.

In Milking the Ashes, Setting Fire to the Ground, Nina Kraul Maegaard exhibits a year of working with the cemetery and its themes of cycles, transformation and contradictions. Gathering and exploring both the narratives and materials from the radical space of the cemetery and transforming and immortalising them with the help of the ceramic medium.
