In Inside Pikisaari, we respond to the site through an intuitive and spontaneous artistic practice, in dialogue with art history, esoteric rituals, and the rich contributions of our intern Maeda, whose work includes singing and storytelling grounded in Afghan cultural traditions. A cube can be divided into three identical square pyramids known as a yangma. Tullkomplexet (The City Limits Complex) is an artist-led platform and working group that develops artistic methods for exploring the city and its changing public spaces. Initiated in Stockholm in 2021 by Felice Hapetzeder, Marit Lindberg and Johan Suneson, the project emerged through work in Hagastaden while continuing to develop through site-specific investigations in different urban contexts. The practice takes its starting point in particular locations and examines how urban environments are shaped over time through planning, infrastructure and everyday use.
Through installations, video works, sculptural elements, performance and performative situations, Tullkomplexetcreates temporary interventions in public space. Projects are often developed in dialogue with local actors and grounded in conversations, observations and participatory processes. Central to the work is the relationship between visions of urban development and lived experience, and how artistic practice can reveal the social, spatial and political dimensions of a site.
The practice combines investigation and artistic form, frequently inviting audiences to activate or influence the works. Interactive, performative and collective formats are used to create situations for reflection, exchange and the renegotiation of shared environments. The projects function both as autonomous artworks and as platforms where different experiences and perspectives can intersect.
As part of its activities, Tullkomplexet also invites other artists to develop temporary interventions in relation to specific sites and urban conditions, including projects connected to Hagastaden. These collaborations open the platform to a wider range of artistic approaches and perspectives, contributing to a collective exploration of how places are produced, experienced and transformed.
Through temporary artistic interventions, Tullkomplexet engages with questions of public space, democracy and urban transformation, focusing on how art can generate new readings of the shared environment.
