Carries out a project in Stockholm, produced by MobileArtProduction and sponsored by Akademie Schloss Solitude. Eight people were chosen to be both protagonists and viewers. Reynolds created eight fictional characters resembling the participants and sent letters containing fictional narratives of their lives, introducing fiction into the participants’ realities. An artist’s book was published with the relevant texts and documents about the project.

Going Public – Telling it as it is? // BOOM (Consonni-ENPAP Bilbao) is completed—a project in which Reynolds transforms the window of an out-of-service video rental store into an inverted screen, turning life outside into a film where foley artists add ambient sound effects.

Group work Elisabet, Lena, Tobias, Kerstin, Besa, Rikard, Anki is presented at the Music and Theatre Library of Sweden in Stockholm. The title of this site-specific sound installation refers to the librarians who lent their voices to Reynolds’ script. The work delivers a new way of experiencing the library, guided by the librarians themselves, who share stories of the building from the hours when there is no one there.

Three works by Reynolds are part of Visiones contemporáneas, a contemporary Spanish video art space at Domus Artium 2002 (DA2) in Salamanca.
