Propelled by terse, dialectical montage, Överföringsdiagram Nr 1 invokes the process of knowledge production through acts of both destruction and restoration.

Lina Selander and Oscar Mangione craft a stark, densely structured essay shot through with a sense of political disillusionment, but rich with secondary associations.
