"Voice is a significant concept in contemporary culture. What does it mean to be a voice, a unique and identifiable amalgamation

of tone (the tension generated by the body) and expression (that which must find its way from the inner to the outer)? What does

it mean to have a voice, to be able to raise it and to be heard by others? Voice must not always be understood literally, as an

individual sonorous imprint. As it were, the part may also stand for the whole: an expressive frequency of sound, an inclination

for certain phrases, certain intonations. Much of Karolina Erlingsson’s art is informed by an enlarged concept of voice and by

her attemps to translate between what is thinkable, audible, visible and palpable. She has worked with texts and sounds that

interpret echo, disappearance, presence. Sometimes the texts become moving images or materialise on sparsely printed sheets of

paper scattered on the floor. Sometimes the textual significance dissolves into a larger context."
