Fia Backström’s work takes on a diagnostic and propositional engagement with the symbolic and real construction of social agency. Backström's employment of display mechanisms provokes interrelations between pedagogical methods, modes of corporate address and political rhetoric. Her work has been staged at numerous international galleries and institutions.
