Transitions

Stockholm School of Economics - 2022

Cristian Quinteros Soto´s installation Transitions (Övergångar) has taken over the main entrance staircase of SSE, as part of Handels x Mejan 2022. It´s an artwork that consists of towel holders, sound and a subtle smell.

The towel holders marks the transition between a state of dressed and undressed. No matter how you feel about it, it’s required of you as a visitor at a public swimming pool to drop your towel by the holder. Then it´s up to you to react and reflect on your own relationship with your and other´s bodies.

In the same sense Cristian sees a school as a transition between youth and adulthood. He wants to welcome you to this day of your education, and invite you to ponder your relation to yourself in relation to the school.
