This exposition gathers a series of visual and linguistic investigations in which signs, form, and the space between them construct expressions that invite multiple interpretations. Here, propositions are understood as attempts, movements, and modes of thought. Between sign and form, a space emerges where meaning can be brought into play – where rhythm, structure, wonder and quietness may interact as an expanded practice of seeing, reading, and listening.

In this work, I want to show some excerpts from my grandmother's patriarchal resistance. The narrative and the photographs will be at the center. They will clarify Esters Lindberg's attempt to negotiate and renegotiate her position within the usual norm. The narratives and photographs will hopefully give an expanded understanding of what it could be like to live as a woman with a desire for freedom in Sweden during the early 20th century.

The audio essay Sonic Fictioning: Podcasting as a Lure for Feeling introduces the concept of sonic fictioning through Schizopodcast – a sonic artwork presented as a web application and later published on Research Catalogue: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1894089/2463127. Schizopodcast: A Podcast is a Podcast is a Podcast builds on Deleuze-Guattari’s ontology of immanence, viewing nature as an autopoietic force. It frames sonic fictioning not merely as an abstraction but as a resonant dispositif, shaped by its physical, cultural, and political contexts. Rather than opposing lived experience in late capitalism, sonic fictioning enacts a speculative flight, a ‘lure for feeling’ in the Whiteheadian sense. Used as a verb, fictioning is a practice of fabulation that connects to the real through sound, challenging the opposition between fiction and reality, producing or altering worlds. Schizopodcast asks how one might live, and how sonic fictions affirm this question. It examines the philosophical and practical implications of sonic thinking in reflecting on perception, understanding, and loopholes. The audio essay continues this exploration of sonic fictioning’s aesthetic and epistemological aspects as a lure-for-feeling. Though speculation may not reveal truths, it highlights fiction’s aesthetic value and its conveyance of corporeal knowledge.

Abstract The E(c)lect(r)ic Guitar in The Mechanical Forest is my investigation into how to expand my improvisational palette as an electric guitarist, by working with compositional techniques and concepts used in composed contemporary western art music. In my work, I have focused on incorporating movement, microtonality, as well as multimedia composition techniques and application of technology, both in the performance as well as in the creative process. A key focus of my artistic practice has been exploration of the transcorporeal nature of my relationship with the guitar. This has resulted in creative work which has grown from a deep focus on the materiality of the guitar and the visual, tactile (touch) and kinetic (movement) aspects of sound production. Research Questions 1 How can I use compositional techniques and concepts from contemporary composed western art music to expand my palette as an improvising guitarist? 2 How can I transfer musical techniques and concepts, which often are used in a strictly predetermined environment, to a musical situation where improvisation is an important element in the performance. 3 How can I reconfigure/extend the electric guitar, and how can the reconfigured/extended guitar reshape the way I create and perform music?
