Cecilia Hillström Gallery is proud to present the exhibition Hibernaculum with David Ohlsson and Dit-Cilinn, which is also Dit-Cilinn’s second show at the gallery. The duo Ohlsson/Dit-Cilinn has collaborated in exploring human existence and spirituality through elaborate objects, installations, and performances since 2009. With a unique attention to detail and a skilful combination of materials, their work is a negotiation between present day urban life and a desire for something transcendent.

The exhibition evolves around the concept of a hibernaculum or an incubator – a place for rest, introspective meditation and transformation. It consists of site-specific installations and sculptures. The works are physical poems which unite the primeval with the futuristic; a holistic forward-thinking approach combined with a responsiveness which may be found in animistic cultures. The exhibition presents human beings as a part of nature, playing an active role in their own evolution. In Hibernaculum, the past is a living foundation which is constantly recreated.
