Students work at HDK.   Site-specific works at  Härlanda fängelse (Gothenburg). HDK`s 1st – 5th year students were locked in a vacated jail for two weeks: to try to understand and master the environment through acting with clay and pigments. Emotional discharges became an embodiment of feelings, and the works became actual experiences in themselves. Kursansvarlig: Kennet Williamsson. Photo: Torbjørn Kvasbø
