Det Norske Hus, 2022.

Sculptural performance: (225x185x160). Duration: 92 hours.

Installation view, Hvitsten Salong 2022. Det Norske Hus was a sculptural performance taking place in Hvitsten, Norway, 4.-7th August 2022. Materials from the sculpture itself was used to keep the Jøtul 602 wood burning stove going, and the performance concluded when there was no more material left to fire. The title refers to the political ambition launched in 1996 by current prime minister Torbjørn Jagland, drawing up policy plans for an ecologically sustainable society of the future. In light of societal and environmental developments over the last twenty five years, it can be argued that the plan and its formulation was highly unambitious, reflecting the political naivite at the time towards issues of climate change and sustainablity.

Exhibited also as photographic installation.: 9 x framed c-print.

The Need To Tell You (Arecibo Revisited), 2019-20.

Interstellar radio message, transmitted May 2020. Message translated into a sixteen note chromatic scale and performed on a piano by Eirin Øgård Kinn, Oct. 13th 2019. Audio work: 24:13min. Released as a cassette tape publication by Breton Cassette June 2020.

https://soundcloud.com/user-115020211/the-need-to-tell-you-arecibo-revisited-3min-excerpt (3 min excerpt)

The radio message is an updated version of the so-called Arecibo Message, a 1974 radio signal sent into deep space being the first interstellar transmission from Earth containing information about humanity and our environments. Although adventurous in spirit the message is arguably more self-reflective than outreaching. More than the prospect of someday receiving an answer in return, it expresses the human need to communicate – the need to tell even an unidentified receiver about who we are. The message then becomes as much about how we perceive ourselves, as how we would like to be perceived by the outer-worldly other.
