“On ‘Dissolving Strawberry’ (2020)” is a collection of interpretive sound compositions thematically centered around the titular painting by Swedish artist Christine Ödlund.
 “Dissolving Strawberry” (2020) portrays an ongoing decomposition process through several parallel perspectives, or planes – molecular and cosmic, as well as symbolic – by means of color pigments produced from the strawberry plant itself. Transfer of knowledge and exchange of meaning between plant and animal world is a constant in the work of Christine Ödlund, as are concepts such as transmission, translation and interpretation. 


In resonance, composers Joachim Nordwall, Klara Lewis, Sonja Tofik and Lo Kristenson all draw on Ödlund’s piece as graphic notation, or graphic score, turning “On ‘Dissolving Strawberry’ (2020)” into a collective exploration of the sounding dimensions of Ödlund’s visual work. The result is four highly individual and personal sound art interpretations ranging from organic waves of processed field recordings and fractured woodwinds to distorted electronics and analogue drone stasis.
