2012, Solo exhibition at Rotundan, Kalmar Konstmuseum, Kalmar, Sweden.

”I was asked by Kalmar Konstmuseum to do an installation in the old customs cabin near the city prison. Since it was supposed to happen during the summer, I thought it might be nice to live there. So I put in an ad in the local newspaper. A few weeks later: Bert moved in.”
– Christer Chytraéus, Barometern.

The old customs cabin, Kalmar.

The ad

”Bert became a living sculpture with a will of its own, something out of my control. But still allowing people, who passed by hiss tiny home, to gaze through the windows and take a good look at him.”

”some times he invite people for coffee”
