In her first solo exhibition in Switzerland, Swedish artist Emilia Bergmark examines the changing ecology of Nordic forests and the plight of endangered species. Through a combination of large-scale narrative tapestries, ceramic sculptures, and a site-specific installation, she contrasts natural forest biodiversity with the impact of industrial tree plantations.
Emilia Bergmark (b. 1986, Sweden) presents 'Going, Going, Gone.', a body of work that engages with the environmental degradation of Sweden’s forests and the loss of species. The exhibition features two monumental narrative tapestries that juxtapose the ecological richness of the Kerrosmäki forest against the managed uniformity of nearby tree plantations, a study conducted in collaboration with a forest biologist. These textile pieces integrate traditional craft techniques with contemporary illustrated imagery to trace the human post-industrial footprint on the landscape. Complementing the tapestries, the exhibition includes a series of ceramic sculptures and a site-specific installation integrated into the gallery's ceiling windows. These elements serve as a tribute to extinct and endangered animals, including the dodo and the golden toad, framing the gallery space as a site of reflection on biodiversity and loss. A bilingual handout accompanies the show, encouraging visitors to further explore the artist's research into ecological preservation and the relationship between nature and human intervention.
