Innocent images is the title of an introductory lecture on my drawings and residency plan. I will tell about the narrative of my
autobiographical, fictional, philosophical and political drawings.
The leading theme in my presentation is the outside innocence of images that capture burden subjects such as a family
secret or a political murder. I also made use of music tocommunicate the narrative of my drawings. In this lecture I will
perform two of my songs.
Furthermore I want to discuss the development of my residency plan. After a research travel to Yan’an and surroundings to
study the Yang Ge dance in relation to the settlement of the red army during the period 1937-47, I have worked out some
ideas for new work: drawing, painting, performance and for a small crowdfunding project.
