Foreign Object

Galleri 54 Peepshow, Gothenburg

From 22 May to 14 June 2026, Foreign Object is on show in the window of Galleri 54 Peepshow, presented as a photograph that hangs behind the real version of itself: a real tomato and metal tools that decay over the exhibition period. What does it mean to be a foreign object? Thurees thinks of wooden splinters lodged in her fingers, and the way the body lets you know when something does not belong.

Still Good, Still Life vol. iii: The Threat of Intimacy

Street gallery window, Chalmersgatan 4, HDK-Valand, Gothenburg

With The Threat of Intimacy, Thurees presented the third exhibition in her ongoing Still Good, Still Life series, this time in a street gallery window display. Unlike traditional gallery exhibitions, the window format meant the photographs were encountered by people simply passing by. Commuters, pedestrians, and curious onlookers often stopped to look and ask questions about the work.

Audacious BIPOC

Galleri Rotor2, Teatergatan 5, HDK-Valand, Gothenburg

For the Audacious BIPOC exhibition celebrating Women's Month, Thurees presented three photographic works: A Woman's Place is Wherever the Hell She Wants It to Be!, Sugar, Spice, and Reproductive Rights, and a still life featuring lipsticks arranged around a chessboard. Working primarily with objects and staged compositions, her photographs explore themes of autonomy, femininity, and power.

Still Good, Still Life vol. i: Value and Visibility

HDK-Valand Café, Gothenburg

The Value & Visibility exhibition marked the first public presentation of Still Good, Still Life, an ongoing photographic series. The series focuses on food sourced from discounted grocery bags: produce that is still edible but often overlooked due to appearance, timing, or expiration dates. Through carefully staged still life photography, Thurees asks viewers to reconsider how value is assigned to everyday food.

Remembrances

Rotor 2 Galleri, Valand, Gothenburg

Remembrances, curated by Juliana Goméz and Esther Dullinger, was a group exhibition at Rotor 2 Galleri, Valand, where Thurees exhibited along with fellow HDK-Valand students. She showed Echoes of My Dreams (2023), a photograph that represents the vividness and repetitive nature of her dreams: a framed photograph superimposed in front of several copies of the same photograph, altered with techniques like paper manipulation.
