"THE IRRECONCILABLE DUALITY OF BODY AND SOUL"
is a new series consisting of six large-scale paintings (180x130cm each),
which will, in part, be shown at
Västerås Konstmuseum this winter.
They all deal with inner and outer aspects of the body, & though they weren't
initially inspired by a passage in Milan Kundera's
The Unbearable Lightness Of Being,
I have, during the process, come to relate them to this very text:
"A long time ago, man would listen in amazement to the sound of regular beats
in his chest, never suspecting what they were. He was unable to identify himself
with so alien and unfamiliar an object as the body. The body was a cage, and inside
that cage was something which looked, listened, feared, thought, and marvelled;
that something, that remainder left over after the body had been accounted for,
was the soul.
Today, of course, the body is no longer unfamiliar: we know that the beating in our
chest is the heart and that the nose is the nozzle of a hose sticking out of the body
to take oxygen to the lungs. The face is nothing but an instrument panel registering
all the body mechanisms: digestion, sight, hearing, respiration, thought.
Ever since man has learned to give each part of the body a name, the body has given
him less trouble. He has also learned that the soul is nothing more than the grey
matter of the brain in action. The old duality of the body and the soul has become
shrouded in scientific terminology, and we can laugh at it as merely obsolete prejudice.
But just make someone who has fallen in love listen to his stomach rumble, and the
unity of body and soul, that lyrical illusion of the age of science, instantly fades away."

Swedish translation:
"KROPPENS OCH SJÄLENS OFÖRENLIGA DUALITET"
är en ny serie bestående utav sex stora målningar (180x130cm var),
vilka delvis kommer att visas på
Västerås Konstmuseum denna vinter.
Samtliga av målningarna behandlar inre och yttre aspekter av kroppen. Och även om de
inte ursprungligen var inspirerade av en passage i Milan Kunderas
Varats Olidliga Lätthet,
vilken jag av en händelse råkade läsa under arbetet, så har jag under processen kommit
att relatera dem till den:
"För mycket länge sedan lyssnade människan förbluffad till det regelbundna dunkandet,
som nådde henne ur djupet av hennes bröst och undrade vad det var. Hon kunde inte
identifiera sig med någonting så främmande och okänt som en kropp. Kroppen var en bur
och inne i den dolde sig någonting som såg, lyssnade, skämdes, tänkte och blev förvånat;
detta någonting som blev kvar när man dragit från kroppen, det var själen.
Idag har kroppen naturligtvis upphört att vara en gåta. Man vet att det som dunkar
i bröstkorgen är hjärtat och att näsan bara är den yttersta ändan av ett rör, som sticker
fram för att hämta luft till lungorna. Ansiktet är bara en instrumentbräda, dit de fysiska
apparaterna mynnar ut: matsmältningen, synen, hörseln, andningen, tankeförmågan.
Sedan människan varit i stånd att namnge alla delar av sin kropp, har den oroat henne
mindre. Nuförtiden vet alla också att själen inte är mer än hjärnbarkens verksamhet.
Själens och kroppens dualitet har svepts in i vetenskapliga termer och man kan skratta
åt den, som åt en gammalmodig fördom.
Men det behövs bara att man är vanvettigt förälskad och hör sin mage knorra, för att själens
och kroppens enhet, den vetenskapliga epokens lyriska illusion, omedelbart skall skingras."
