”I am working with a series of pieces based on the idea of myself as a prepper artist. I use my artistic work to secure the potential dark future we are facing. What do I need as a person to survive? How can I use my present work to help out in different future scenarios and, at the same time, express the obvious damage we all participate in? When I started the Apocalypse Insurance series I did it with a large amount of critic to the whole idea of <just make sure you and your family is safe>, which is the model that the insurance industry is based on, as well as the preppers are into.” (Linda Tedsdotter)

”Linda Tedsdotter always questions the social context in the form of multimedia and spectacular installations. Her work intensifies the experience of the spectator in a very particular way and raises questions which have never been formulated in this way. Apocalypse Insurance is an ongoing concept which has different forms. In Bucharest, we will show a new part of the concept imagined in a very unexpected installation. Tedsdotter uses the seduction of power-game that makes the exhibition desirable.” (Răzvan Ion)
