@greenlightdistrict_norway is a Triennial hosted by four institutions in two different cities in Norway.

The theme for 2024 explores the capitaloscene and is titled "The Curse of an Unstoppable Appetite" and is curated by @powerekroth The 14 international artists hard work deserves major recognition.

The motivations behind European migration to the Americas after 1492 were often summarized as the ‘three Gs’: Gold, God, and Glory. Additionally, the reality of genocide, a fourth ‘G’, later facilitated what became known as the American ‘gold rush’ in subsequent years. When reflecting on the ancient social contract that led to gold becoming the standard currency instead of any other element, the choice might seem somewhat arbitrary. Pyrite, a mineral commonly known as ‘Fool’s Gold’ due to its deceptively similar appearance to real gold, is a concept that Löfström explores in her installation at @spritenkunsthall.

The installation brings together elements of fool’s gold, ring-lights often used to smooth facial shadows in the social media echo chambers, and plants used for medicinal purposes to induce visions (some hallucinogenic) and heal mental states.

Through her installation, Löfström explores these historical and symbolic connections, juxtaposing materials, and concepts to provoke contemplation about the complex interplay of wealth, faith, ambition, and darker human realities.

Löfström’s second work in the exhibition – the looped video piece titled Vanitas, 2021, features an animated abstracted dendrogram – or mandala, a symbol representing the cosmos – that portrays the cyclical rise and fall of all species on Earth. The title alludes to the genre of still-life paintings that symbolize life’s transience and the inevitability of death. This connection highlights how human influence has accelerated ecological decay. Vanitas serves as a visual poem reflecting on the fleeting nature of existence and the profound impact of human actions on the intricate tapestry of life on Earth.
