Sirra Sigrún´s exhibition WE ARE HERE includes a series of new works that refer to place or location, cosmic phenomena and relations between nation states. In Relationships between two states Sirra works with a graph that shows the different states of rivalry or peace between nations or states in the world from 1900 to 2023. The relationships are classified into five categories: Severe rivalry, lesser rivalry, negative peace, warm peace and security community. Sirra’s work is cosmic in nature, often connected to speculations about our position within the inner workings of nature, physics and the forces that drive the world. It often evokes our status as individuals, our value and smallness where the small is placed in context with the larger and the meaning is transferred from one phenomenon to another so that it becomes a new perception.
