I collected archival material: photographs, old Str\u00f6mberg magazines from flea markets, pictures from family albums, and archive photographs of women in factories from the Central Archives for Finnish Business Records. The aim has been to use documentary elements as a starting point for intuitive work, not to create a documentary. The working process follows its own rules, and the rational starting point may change shape along the way. Factory work became a symbol of all the invisible work that is done in life, behind the big moments and milestones. The factory also serves as a metaphor for the structures in which girls and women grow up and live. While using old super8 analog film from my parents&#8217; wedding as material in my work, I reflect on my own life choices and their consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My perspective is on women, their experiences, and their bodies\u2014soft bodies in hard structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>BIO<br><em>Janika Herlevi (1978) is a visual artist based in Vaasa, Finland.
