Political undertones in contemporary Swedish video art.

From the middle of 20th century Sweden had rapid industrial growth which has contributed to a stable economy. The country adopted the “Swedish model” that turned Sweden into social, cultural and economical well fare state. This was also the period when immigration increased in Sweden, due to the need of labour in the Swedish industry. Sweden did not experience any war for the last 100 years. Generally Swedish people do not like disputing too much, in stead they prefer coming to consensus based on discussion. People rarely talk about their political ideologies. These different points, together with the lack of conflicts and political unrest might make politics, a less frequent subject to Swedish artists.
In Sweden today you might find more artists working on how political engagement affects personal life on a psychological level rather than working on political standpoints.”
