Shared Bed, 2026
400 offset-printed books, page edges hand-painted with watercolour, wooden bed frame, mattress, bed sheet
In the installation Shared Bed, a literary voice becomes a material resource for constructing the supportive structure of a mattress. The offset-printed book repeated 400 times across the bed is In Full Gravity, a novella written for the piece under the heteronym Alma Holt. Taking the form of a familiar paperback, the kind that might be found on a bedside table, the book holds the complexities of gendered creative labour, pseudonymous hiding, and defensive syntax. Composed in diary form, the novella borrows the humorous voice of commercial women’s fiction. Its subject, the obsessive writing of a romantic story about astronauts on a lunar mission, becomes a way to approach questions of domesticity, self-monitoring, and the double desire to hide and be seen. A bed is a deeply private yet shared space: a place for connection and withholding. Shared Bed was exhibited at TASE ’26, the graduation show of the Estonian Academy of Arts.
