original title: så vitt vi kunde se

Recurring themes in the exhibition is the memory, time, and
conservation. The exhibition consists of installations and
can be seen as an archive, a reporting layer of hidden
messages and memories.
The concept of archive (collection of documents and objekts)
are distinguished primarily by museums (collection of
objects) and libraries (collection of printed books).
Archive is a cohesive portfolio of archival material derived
from a archivecreator, such as an individual business.
Activities relating to archives is called archival
determines which documents are to be saved, to what extent.
In addition, the archivecreator provides for what should be
collected over a certain period of time, what should be
weeded out and how the collection should be arranged.
"As far as we could see" is part of a large archive of
change, which stalled at Galleri Kronan in a frozen moment.
