My Bengtssons artistic practice is oriented around the combination of cultural sites, geography and human geography. Infrastructure is something she constantly comes back to and also human reaction to untamed landscapes. Infrastructural patterns affect the landscape and we make a duality more accessible for humans, access to wilderness, less wilderness; access to rapid transportation and society development, explorations and overpowering landscapes by man.
