Cases / Jag �r st�rst /I am great

The sound piece Jag �r st�rst /I am great is aiming to find a form to unite individuals in a secular country. The starting point is Sweden, the most secular country in the world where belief in the individual is strong. I am the caller of a prayer where the is worshiped, using the same aesthetics as the call broadcast from a minaret.

In Sweden and other highly secular countries today, we have difficulty finding values to unite us beyond consumer messages, advertising or the belief in a god. From an early age we learn that we are responsible for the development of our own lives.

Is it possible to see people around us as a communal "we", while we are so closely defined by? Is this a natural part of our struggle to become the self-confident "I" who can achieve anything?

Can we " through I (myself)" create a uniting power through the belief in ourselves as individuals? This in combination with our ambition to distinguish ourselves by individual branding and choices in our way of living.

What is uniting people in Sweden today?
The work discusses contemporary belief and outlook on life, secularization and individualism as a result of western capitalism, where the belief in our selves is the main motivation.

The other two posters: 1 A woman shitting on a child's grave (And then mummy became The Crazy Bitch That Shits On Her Daughter's Grave (about a tragic woman who has lost her 5 year old daughter)); 2 A sad woman sitting under a rope from which bloodfilled tampons are dangling, chewing on a used tampon (When Chicken Brain Francine Menstruates, She Chews On Her Used Tampons, like the neighbourhood boys often forced her to do while they masturbated, spat on her and called her a fucking idiot.)
