The Exposed Eye #1 contains 18 assignments, carried out by Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand. The last assignment in the book goes to the reader. The contributions they receive will form part of a second publication, to be released by Sailor Press in the autumn of 2025.
The following letter is the introductory text of the book and provides an entry point to the content:
Dear Reader,
During a breezy sea vacation, we entered into an agreement that over the next year, we would embark on a shared game. The game was to give each other assignments that were formulated: “Do something about…” The ellipses were to be replaced with something one of us thought the other should take on. The assignment, once completed, contained the seed for the next one, and it would continue in this vein until it somehow came to an end. We started with a man who was called “Raftworks Abrahamsson” and moved around after that in realities and escapisms, among children, X-rays, deserted houses, archives, sorrows, photo labs, sadists, harbor towns, slaughterhouses, amusement parks, dreams, coffins, and cyclopes. We impacted life and were impacted by life. We traveled to Vindeln, to Paris, to Helsinki, and in time. We mixed together and were mixed together. The result of those completed assignments is what you now hold in your hand.
