- a poetic performance, a moving picture and a room for those on the other side.
a room that is being lit up is cracking | the jewellery is falling to the floor | the white curtains are flapping , the heavy door is slamming | and someone is coming | who hasn’t been here before | or has been away for a long time or | always has been here but |
”To slowly make someone immortal” is a performance and an art installation rolled into one. A 3-dimensional interpretation of the Norwegian poet, Vilde Heggems book “Akkurat her er det det verker” (Right Here is Where it Aches). The text has left the paper, and exists as a voice in the room. A space sometime populated by a performer, a child and a singer who moves between different objects, for then to disappear. The room is slowly in a constantly movement.
The audience may choose to stay in the room or leave it and maybe come back later.
