“Does the park outside our home look like it did yesterday? Is the water drinkable today? The air to breathe tomorrow? Do we have enough canned food to cope with a longer power outage? Where does our money go without ones and zeros? Will the poor in Bangladesh flee here when the water rises? Have I taken enough steps today? Trained? Eaten right? The mark on the arm, is it cancer? Can we really hope that the children will have a wall to hang a picture on? ”

Marianne Lindberg De Geer was born in 1946 and lives and works in Stockholm. She is an artist, a playwriter, a cultural writer, and was also the head of the Arts and Design department at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Stockholm. In 2017, the art space Färgfabriken showed her much-appreciated retrospective Full speed ahead. At the age of 71, she debuted as a fiction writer with the novel På drift.
Much of Marianne's art has provoked and created debate. The artwork I think of myself (I Think of Myself) in Växjö has been vandalized on several occasions and created a cultural debate in both the press and television. The work Mate Hunting in Borås, centrally located in Stadsparken, has also endured repeated vandalism and local art debate.
