Division Dialogues: On the Components and Practice of Juggling
Stockholm University of the Arts, Circus.
2026 (English)Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic) [Artistic work]
Abstract [en]

The Documented Artistic Research Project Division Dialogues: On the Components and Practice of Juggling explores a methodology emerging from juggling practice. The point of departure is the identification and naming of a method common in the field of juggling, termed reduct-construct. The project investigates how this method can be translated across domains: first into sculptural object-making, and subsequently into archival work. In this process, juggling techniques, sculptural components, and historical documents are all approached as materials that can be broken down into elements and recombined into new constellations. The research positions historiography as a creative, generative practice—one in which history becomes a resource for experimentation, artistic inquiry, and the articulation of new perspectives.Through the research process, we follow how a practice evolves as its underlying sensibilities are identified and extended into artistic domains beyond juggling. The project engages with historical figures and their appearances in newspapers, while also opening onto broader existential questions. In this way, the work demonstrates how artistic practice, when reflected upon and translated across contexts, can generate new forms of knowledge and modes of expression.
