Asesinato en la colina

This series of sculptures in natural, unbaked clay, study how this material will persist in Lanzarote’s often brutal weather conditions wind, sunshine - and some rare rain. On almost every level of our land a fierce warrior has been put, ready to take on the battle with nature. Some are already beheaded, some are standing strong. When planning a visit, you might want to look out for them.

Truls also added some works to the permanent collection.

Truls Mårtensson (b, 1993) works with ceramics to transform the societal consumer culture in to his pieces, where his references to historical pop-art does not go unnoticed. The critique of a digitalized and capitalistic society in relation to his medium creates a unavoidable clash between worlds. 

For his project at Hektor Truls will explore the possibilities of marrying his own aesthetic with that of the specific location of the residency. He wants to see how he can progress in a new context - maybe with a material he is familiar with, clay, or other mediums. Furthermore he simply wants inspiration and stay at a place has not seen before. His practice has been very fast paced and urban centered and he wants to see what happens to it when you try to do the opposite in a more calm atmosphere. Moreover he intends to write and lay out future projects when at Hektor.
