Suddenly the refrigerator door opens and a person steps out into the kitchen without saying a word. It is the artist herself, carelessly disrupting the tidy setting. The nonchalance with which Klara Lidén exits from a food storage unit enhances the absurdity of the situation. The presumably incorrect use of the refrigerator undermines the notion of a reliable order and the impression of everyday life, which is highlighted by a radio playing in the background; all at once, critical questions arise about the scarcity of living space, the fair distribution of goods and, last but not least, social roles.

Lidén often works with short videos that show her performative actions in private or public space and that question everyday routines. Out to Lunch is the prelude to an exhibition in which the boundaries and transitions between the internal and the external play a central role and in which the subject of the box resonates in a humorous manner.
