Annika Larsson's new work Copia will be premiered at Art Forum Berlin. In Copia, Larsson continues to play with our perceptions, blurring the relationship between subject and object, representation and reality, the familiar and the strange. The film takes place in a setting reminiscent of a still life. Ordinary objects like two pieces of chocolate and a glass of milk are being arranged against a simple white backdrop. With minimal image and language, actions and images are being repeated and also emphasized by a soundtrack. The actions create an uncanny appearance of something dead and life-like at the same time.

Annika Larsson (b.1972, lives and works in Berlin) is one of Sweden's most significant artists, working mainly with video. Her work has been presented in solo shows at museums such as LE MAGASIN, Grenoble, Kunsthalle Nürnberg, Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel, Sala Montcada - Fundacion la Caixa, Barcelona, ICA, London and Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art, Toronto, Canada. Upcoming solo shows include DAAD, Berlin, and Velan Center, Turin, Italy.
