OLALAND

Hedvig Holgersson

13–30 March 2025

Detroit Stockholm

Welcome to OLALAND!

OLALAND is the land of Olas. Everyone in OLALAND is called Ola.
It's a soundscape and an installation of Ola, 52.

Ola, 52, was a poet who died young. But other Olas, 52, are alive. Ola, 52, is out moose hunting with his dog. But it is not the moose that dies. Ola, 52, takes care of his snakes while expressing how he is not comfortable in his own skin. Ola, 52, has lost his memory, living in an absolute present and playing the piano. When the Olas start to read the short and tense poems, written by the dead poet, they start to talk and tell. Ola talks about how he feels as a boring and lonely man and Ola talks about the feeling of being stuck in a void. OLALAND is the land of loneliness and confusion.

OLALAND is a documentary sound installation. Detroit Stockholm invites you to take an audio walk in OLALAND!
