Avgang 2023: Ollie S. Hermansson / How to be a straight line (Transition Edition)

I am in Oslo, but it feels like my body is there somewhere in between.

How to be a straight line
— is a title of a series of works I have done between 2021-2023+?
— is a question with a never-ending conclusion
— is my coming-out story
— is a workshop
— is a problem that many have tried to solve
— is a response to an assistant job I did for Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawing #839
— is an invitation

And today I had to choose my name for the poster for the degree show. That was not so easy. I wanted to take a gender-neutral name, but it was not time enough to go through that transformation and find it, so in the end I had to just stick with *
