Ok, so, as many sci-fi stories have predicted planet Earth has become a toxic wasteland, societies have fallen apart into smaller ‘tribes’ that are under immense pressure because of lack of resources, constant feuds are fought out in gladiator-like arena’s. What are your preferred gladiator gear and name? (in this post-apocalyptical situation warriors are awarded names to commemorate their achievements).

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0007_kim

My preferred gladiator gear and name would be :
Name: Epic Spider Solitaire Solutioner
Gear: Epic Tactical SMG

Unfair - Pernille

Pernille Pedersen ‘500 Gogos’ (2019)

What would you characterize as your biggest challenge at the moment?

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0006_pernille

Some challenges at the moment:

  1. I ordered tools from Toolmax, which did not arrive and I’m now trying to figure out where they are and if I can get a refund.
  2. I’ve been trying to clean up my studio for months, but it seems to only have become messier.
  3. I moved to The Hague two years ago and there is still stuff in Amsterdam I need to pick up.

To what extent are you aware of, or interested in, the political aspect of your practice?

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0006_pernille

I am interested in politics and the political, but also see the space of art as extremely ambiguous and unclear in nature.

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0007_kim

Of course these interests play a role, but maybe more so in the background or as one of many layers. Art (in all its varieties) to me is a by default narrative space and once you pull in political events they change meaning or become aestheticized in a way, almost as if becoming a decor. But maybe this is a copout, a way around thinking about it.

Is there a red thread or clear consistency between everything you make? And is it important?

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0006_pernille

Yes, I think so.

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0006_pernille

I’m interested in narrative in a broader sense of the word, which is maybe a bit general, but I think the things I make are often either a starting point or the result of a network of stories.

intervieuwroulette-SiteThumb_0000s_0006_pernille

When looking at other people’s work, I also have the tendency to look at it narratively, which is a nice exercise. It’s a bit like infecting reality with fictions.
