In the info leaflet METTE EDVARDSEN >PROJECTS 2002-2010 the following is written about Private collection:

"In Private collection I enter the world of objects. Everyday objects and the human body are being handled in time and space, proposing a simultaneous subject/ objectification. I am interested in the nature of things, such as gravitation, weight, balance, stability, shape, and volume, and how we organise things which by classifying, collecting, and order relates the object in time and space. The sincerity of an object and its chameleon-like quality bring about transformation and disappearance. I try to explore my own capacities of presence/absence and transformation, and expand the world of objects by entering inside."

Private collection wants to thank P5: Alexandra Bachztetsis, Juan Dominguez, Cuqui Jerez and Eva Meyer-Keller

Private collection was supported by Arts Council Norway, The Audio Visual Fund and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MFA).
