Artwork: All Inclusive

The artwork ‘All
Inclusive’ depicts a 1.2-kilometre route between Rörstorp train station and
Vandalorum. The artist Klas Eriksson is now based in Gothenburg and has held
numerous exhibitions in Sweden and Europe. The choice of flagpoles relates to a
piece he created in 2015, a highly acclaimed work of art in the form of a broken
flagpole.

“I see it as a way
for the group of flagpoles to meet in a more natural way; when they are
stripped of their function they can hang out with each other more freely,” says
artist Klas Eriksson. The flagpoles cannot fly flags and thus function as a
global sculpture by default: ‘All inclusive’. It challenges its reading with
something other than just flags of various kinds, whether they are nations,
cities or companies. “The design challenges perspectives with its different
lengths and placements. The idea is that everyone is welcome to Rörstorp and
Vandalorum, that art is free, something that does not feel obvious in today’s
society,” says Klas Eriksson.
