FIKA #2
Video loop, 00:03:53, 2009


"Fika" is the Swedish word for taking a coffe break. It's considerd to be a very important part of the everyday life for the majority of the people in Sweden. Fika is a way to socialize and having a paus from everything else. We meet to have a fika at work, in town or at someones home. In this video I recreate a scene I frequently have observed at cafés; a couple that doesn't seem to have much to say to each other but still chosed to put them self in a social context. In the video I play both roles of the bored subjects.
