All tickets to the space philosopher's tour sold out. Two poor magicians is struggling at the Acropolis solarium. They are forced to give up moral positions in order to survive. A farewell speech is held for Carl Martin , the most tanned man in Djursholm. He flew too close to the sun and like Ikaroz was burned to death. Who is to play the leading part as Monkey Valuable in the new documentary? Monuments are being built to celebrate life after death and a fear of feeling insignificant. What to think about the legacy from the Roman empire? Conquer and dominate vs. the value of the individual.

A collaboration between Éva Mag and Jenny Palén Ejstes.

A series of work consisting of sculpture, scenography and performance.

Based on composition, objects and shapes - We try to create an image where the visual expression is the main character. Not the story or the actors. We function just as figures, as in a dollhouse transferred to different situations and tasks. The visual expression on stage is based on ideas of a woman and how these roles are being portrayed.

22 min Shortfilm from 2016. First version shown in 2015 as part of a Graduation show from MA program at the Royal Institution of fine arts i Stockholm.

The entire film takes place in the main characters room as days and weeks go by. It’s a story about spiritual loss and depression. A search for new values to believe in to make life worth while.

BA exhibition at Konstakademien 2010.

Installation made of different objects and sculptures.

Jenny Paléns world is striking and she sharpens all things pathos to its point, to its most dramatic, drastic and direct form. With laconic nostalgia for an age yet to come, she excavates into the future, into memory, and memory to come, suggesting that the judgement, which will be passed down on our time will be unsparing. In the wake of secularisation, people's need for an elevated meaning in life remains open and disgruntled.
