Amin Zouiten: Grand Tour
Sept 27– Nov 2, 2025

Grand Tour centres on two film works: the short film Vom Nil shot on mobile phones along the Nile in Egypt, and a silent black and white 16mm tableau of a solitary camel set on Öland’s Alvar.

In Vom Nil, the camera returns to the sites originally photographed by Queen Victoria of Baden (1862–1930), one of Sweden’s first amateur photographers, whose collection is archived in the Bernadotte Library. Named after Baden’s travelogue published in 1892, Vom Nil retraces these photographs from Port Said to Abu Simbel, following a route that parallels the emergence of mass tourism. Following the completion of the Suez Canal and the British occupation of Egypt, travel companies consolidated colonial routes, which in turn established the channels through which the site of ‘Egypt’ would be encountered in a Western imaginary. In the film, the periphery of these well-documented historical sites are reshot and reformulated for an estranged 21st century.

Amin Zouiten: Grand Tour
September 27– Nov 2, 2025

Grand Tour centres on two film works: the short film Vom Nil shot on mobile phones along the Nile in Egypt, and Schibah, Nils, Katrine, a silent black and white 16mm tableau of a solitary camel set on Gland's Alvar.

Both works draw from two historical points and interrogate institutional depiction in relation to travel narratives as constructed fiction. First exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm earlier this year within the framework of the Bernadotte residency programme, the works are presented at Skånes konstförening in a new spatial setting.

In Vom Nil, the camera returns to the sites originally photographed by Queen Victoria of Baden (1862-1930), one of Sweden's first amateur photographers, whose collection is archived in the Bernadotte Library.

Grand Tour, a solo exhibition by Amin Zouiten opens this Friday Sept 26, 18–23. In conjunction with Gallery Weekend.

At the opening, Emil Sandström will perform a concert based on field recordings made during the filming of the exhibition’s central video work, Vom Nil. The work weaves direct audio and processed recordings from the 20-day journey, presenting an alternative soundtrack that unfolds the making of the film. For this iteration, the piece centers on a 22-minute tracking shot from the revolving restaurant of the landmark Cairo Tower, performed as a structural echo, shadowing Baden’s travelogue and the false premise of coming ‘full circle’. The concert extends beyond the opening as a stage reactivated each day.

Engaged with the varying economies of image and language, the work of Emil Sandström moves across photography, sound, sculpture, and writing. Tending to notions of speculation and circulation, his practice probes external and internal infrastructures that facilitate and choreograph systems of affective exchange and shape power relations between bodies and architecture. He has carried out studies at the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts, New Centre for Research and Practice, New York City, and Malmö Art Academy, graduating with an MFA in 2022. He was a co-founder and coordinator of Canopy, an artist-run exhibition platform in Malmö (SE) 2020–2022. He is a current resident at the Cité Internationale des Arts, in Paris, France.

Grand Tour, a solo exhibition by Amin Zouiten, centres on two film works: Vom Nil, shot with mobile phones along the Nile, and a silent 16mm tableau of a solitary camel on Öland’s Alvar. Zouiten looks at travel narratives as constructed fiction, linking them to the founding of the Swedish Royal Academy of Art. In Vom Nil, the camera returns to sites in Egypt originally photographed by Queen Victoria of Baden (1862–1930), whose images are archived in the Bernadotte Library. The tableau echoes David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl’s painting Camel with Driver (1688), omitting the figure—thought to be the first Muslim depicted in Swedish art history.

This Saturday, Rachel Tess will show the ongoing series of solos, Flip Side, at Skånes konstförening as part of Maison ouverte #7 with Manuel Pelmuş and Rachel Tess! For the full program, visit our website.

Sept 6 16.00–20.00
16.00 Flip Side, performance with Rachel Tess
19.15 Mingle with light food and drinks
20.00 Closing

Flip side includes the following solos:
There is a 20 mins break between each solo. You can stay for all three solos or attend just one.
16.00–16.45: Some parts altered by Ulrich Ruchlinski
17.15–17.45: Visualizing the woman I want to become in the mirror by Frédéric Gies
18.15–19.15: She Drifts She Charges by Sophia Mage

Concept: Rachel Tess
Choreography: Frédéric Gies, Sophia Mage, Ulrich Ruchlinski
Flip Side is an ongoing series of ten solos being created with and for dancer Rachel Tess between 2025–2027 by contemporary choreographers based in Sweden and abroad. Commissioned by Tess as a dance anthology, the title refers to the “flip side” or lesser-known “B-side” of a record. The solos can be presented individually or combined as a triptych, and are all crafted to unearth an artistry accrued over a long career in dance.
In 2025, Tess invited Frédéric Gies, Sophia Mage, and Ulrich Ruchlinski to create solos, with the only guideline being that she would follow the desires of the choreographers. At Skånes konstförening, the three works are presented as a continuous dance of lived experience, drawing from an eclectic range of material, including internet memes, angry women, an alien’s reflection, a custom-built drum kit, references to dance history, and Tess’s extensive movement archive.

Rachel Tess (born in Portland, lives in Knislinge) is an American choreographer, dancer and curator. She is the Artistic Director of Milvus Artistic Research Center (MARC) in Knislinge and was the Curator of Live Art at Wanås Konst (SE) from 2016–2022. She holds a BFA from The Juilliard School in New York City (2004) and an MFA from Stockholm University of the Arts (2013). Tess has danced for Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, the Gothenburg Opera Ballet and the Cullberg Ballet in Stockholm. She has been commissioned by Corpus (DK), Dansk Danseteater (DK), Norrdans (SE) and Skånes Dansteater (SE) and presented at Wanås Konst (SE), River to River Festival, Lower Manhattan Culture Council (US), Baryshnikov Arts Center (US), Dansstationen (SE) and Brådjupa (SE). Tess is the recipient of Birgit Cullberg Grant (2019) and Region Skånes Kulturpris (2022) for her work as a choreographer, dancer and curator.

Meet Manuel Pelmus, who shows his work Borderlines at the upcoming event, Maison ouverte #7, at Skånes konstförening.

***Maison ouverte #7: Manuel Pelmus and Rachel Tess***
Maison de la danse x Skånes konstförening Sep 5–6, 2025
Free admission
The event will be held in English.
Curators: Frédéric Gies and Albin Hillervik

***Borderlines***
Concept, choreography, text: Manuel Pelmuş, approx. 40 mins
In Borderlines, Manuel Pelmuș revisits past performances and personal histories and aggregates notions of visibility and invisibility in connection to history and politics of representation. These histories playfully move back and forth in time and space, updating and reflecting on the notion of boundaries, whether they are boundaries between states or boundaries between artistic disciplines. The artist uses his own memories of the volatility of borders, also in regard to the fall of the Berlin wall. The performance lecture, which will be performed in complete darkness, addresses the hierarchy of senses and reflects on the dominance of the visual in our cultures. With Borderlines, Pelmus reconnects to his dance solo Preview (2007), which was also performed in a dark space.

Manuel Pelmuș (born in Bucharest, works in Oslo) has a background in choreography and dance and is interested in ideas of living presence in exhibition contexts and explores the relationship between the human body, memory and the construction of history. He was awarded the Berlin Art Prize in 2012 for performing arts, and represented Romania at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 together with Alexandra Pirici. His works have been shown in numerous international museums and biennials, such as Palais de Tokyo (FR), MUNCH (DE), Tate Modern (UK), Centre Pompidou (FR), Para Site Hong Kong (HK), Kunsthalle Vienna (AT), Kiev Biennale (UA), Van Abbemuseum (NL), etc. He is currently vice rector for artistic research at the National Academy of the Arts Oslo.
