THE PRINCIPLE OF INTERNAL REJECTION
An interactive exhibition by Jennifer Spångerud and Viktor Lysell Smålänning on the topics of separation and transformation, exerted through ritual.

In rites of passages, individuals go through the sequential pattern of separation, transformation and reincorporation. Attempts at transforming one’s perspectives on oneself and the outer world can be benefited by aligning to this structure. In The Principle of Internal Rejection, visitors are invited to partake in a rite of internal transformation through interaction with installation.
