Hva heter det igjen når man skulle ha vært der 1

The video series "Hva heter det igjen når man skulle ha vært der", (2020 - ongoing) delves into the relationship between body, identity, and space, exploring how these elements intersect in complex, often uneasy ways. Each work in the series is projected directly onto the walls of the exhibition space, erasing the boundaries between the projected image and its physical surroundings. This spatial interplay emphasizes how bodies navigate, interact with, and alter their environment. Through themes of repetition, movement, scale, vulnerability, and alienation, the series questions our assumptions about harmony and order. Instead, it introduces moments of disruption—small, subtle changes that challenge expectations and foster a sense of fragility and uncertainty.

The first work in the series plays with distortion and the fragmented body, inviting viewers to experience a never-fully-resolved sequence of movements. The figure in the video moves with awkwardness, caught between a state of perpetual motion and the inability to reach a conclusion. This unresolved tension speaks to broader themes of identity, alienation, and self-perception. How does one navigate a world where the body itself is in constant flux? The gestures are small but significant, repetitive but never monotonous, suggesting a search for equilibrium that is always just out of reach. The video’s projection onto the walls further emphasizes this sense of disorientation, as the figure seems to both exist within the room and slip out of it simultaneously. Through these movements, the work touches upon vulnerability, the fragility of self, and the constant negotiation between stability and imbalance. The body becomes a site for exploring how we perceive and define ourselves, never resting in a state of finality.
