Catalogue Essay
In Alongside Us 2, we see a man, dressed in white and barefoot, hanging in the branches of the tree, which is leafless. The whole burden of his bodyweight is transferred to the tree. Here, Friberg makes visible the act of dependence and trust. She also shows us that the man is part of something bigger: not only has he become part of the landscape but also part of a larger drawing – the bare branches resembling calligraphy and ink drawing.
