​In the video works, two different children are temporarily placed at the center of a McDonald’s birthday party in Sweden in the 90s. Both sitting on a small throne in a private room in the public space, visible among the other guests.

​

​The two children react in different ways, while taking part in the same ritual. They also switch between being observers and the main focus.

​​

The works explore how identity and social approval are shaped in consumer-driven settings, where the brief moment of attention offers both a promise and a reminder of its transience.
