In this film I’ve used video footage from my childhood that my dad has filmed. The video material goes in a loop while the members of my family tell their memories from the different situations.
The film is about memories and time. What do we remember and what have we forgotten? How do we look back on the different situations? I try to create a shared history from four different stories, a shared memory.

Ina Porselius works with video, installation, and text, both as video installations in exhibition spaces and as films in cinemas. Class, power, representation, and identity are the main themes she explores in her artistic practice. She comes from a working-class background, and it is important to her that her background finds a place in the spaces she inhabits today. She works closely with documentary storytelling and is interested in various realities, even though she dramatizes them.
In her recent works, Ina Porselius has depicted invisible labor within low-wage professions, particularly those associated with female-coded jobs. Her works celebrate these overlooked professions and the care that goes into the work, which is often disregarded.
Ina Porselius (b. 1989, Visby, Sweden) lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden. Her education includes a Master of Fine Arts from the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts in Film, specializing in Processes of Filmmaking, from Valand Academy, Gothenburg. Recent exhibitions include Borås Art Museum, Galleri Box, Studio 17, Gotlands Konstmuseum, and Konstepidemin. Her work has also been screened at the Gothenburg Film Festival and Tempo Documentary Festival, and she won Best Art Film at the Frame Festival.
