Commoncause from 2008 is also a video loop with a duration of seven and a half minutes that was filmed on the main staircase at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Three hundred velvet-like spherical forms roll like amorphous balls down the imposing stone staircase. The muffled, bouncing sound creates the impression of an on-going flow. The oeuvre is an investigation of power structures and those who are marginalized or cast out of society as a result.
