Exhibition text:

Cecilia Fogelberg treats the history of Western folklore as a vast repository of posable figurines that can be deployed in make-believe scenarios of her own invention. She assembles together various props, dolls and puppets to sound out what possible competing narratives can be constructed. In her artist book, the same figures reappear in different environments and contexts, highlighting the way that the rearrangements of elements change the construction of meaning.
