In Helena’s practice, she works with everyday life and is constantly coming back to being interested in the eternal striving to constantly make your life better and a constant longing for something other than what is here and now. She is interested in utopias; the need for dreams and ideals and how it is portrayed in both individual persons and as part of a structure in the society. How the individual’s needs are often part of a larger structure. Helena works with performance, video and photography and sometimes mix authentic, documentary material with staged material as parts of new stories.
