Creative art concept challenges perceptions of tyre recycling
Where does the boundary lie between people, materials and the world around us? In a new short film from Swedish Tyre Recycling, we follow artist Alexandra Jansson Moreno during the creation of the sculpture series A Knot in Motion — situated at the intersection of art, philosophy and tyre recycling.
The project is part of Swedish Tyre Recycling’s initiative Art of Recycling, in which artists are invited to interpret tyre recycling through their own creative practices. The film explores Jansson Moreno’s artistic process and the ideas behind A Knot in Motion. As the physical artwork gradually takes shape, a wider narrative emerges — one about the interconnected relationship between humans and the materials that surround us.
The film raises questions about responsibility, interconnectedness and mutual dependence. The world is presented as an entangled network in which the boundaries between human and material begin to dissolve.
– The title A Knot in Motion comes from a text by philosopher Donna Haraway, an important figure within posthumanist thought. By describing the world as a knot in motion, she conveys the idea that it is our relationships with one another that shape both humanity and the world we live in, says Alexandra Jansson Moreno.
The sculpture series was presented during Stockholm Craft Week 2024 and 2025, and is now being given new life through the film format.
The production is created in collaboration with True North / True Production.
