Moradavaga’s contribution to the 2022edition of OpenArt festival in Örebro, Sweden, transports to a set of physicalplayful devices the ambiguity and multiplicity of meanings the term “främling”- swedish for “stranger” - may convey, and the feelings and emotions it maytrigger in different individuals. Using an ensemble of interconnectedcartoonish character-like figures, built mainly out of corrugated yellowplastic tube, the piece is displayed on Våghustorget, one of the city's mainsquares, as if a colourful group or family of funny foreigners, that could beseen as friendly aliens from outerspace or blown-out-of-proportion bugs, hadset up camps on the square. Recurring to a concept akin to theanalogical “string phone”, the idea is to establish an analogicalcommunicational game between different people that may or may not know eachother, maybe contributing to new acquaintances or generating confusingmessages, but surely motivating an entartaining conversation!
