Thesis: On Responding, Interlacing Strands
My installation consists of 5 connected works placed in different spaces within the exhibition; In room RV014 the painting “An echo camber or a space between” depicting an imagined perspective from the bottom of a closed well. A live sound performance with the title “A body of water”, - a choral soundscape sung and performed live by me and 4 Copenhagen-based singers/performers, performed on Wednesday, 2nd of July, in the space in front of the well. With sounds that swirl, scatter, and unite while maintaining distinct individual identities, the work shall invite experiencing oneself as parts of a bigger circulation. In room RV009 you will find a stop motion machine “Ba (場) and Ma (間)”, pulled up by hand, pulled down, and into motion by water, emitting a metallic monotone sound, showing flickering light inside the well. “Ba” and “Ma” are Japanese concepts introducing a relating to space and relationships. In room RV020 is the painting “Interlacing Strands” talking about the “between” in relationships that will always be even at the tightest point of a knot interlaced from two individual strands. And finally in the basement of the BC building in K29 a video work “Watery Bodies” looping. A video of the perspective of driving through a snowstorm, from an angel where white lines of flickering light form a tunnel.
