Hva heter det igjen når man skulle ha vært der 10

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.

In "Hva heter det igjen når man skulle ha vært der 10", I present an endless, unresolved video that is projected directly onto the wall. This work is part of the larger series, where I explore a break with harmony, expectation, and the feeling of alienation. In this specific video, I examine the disruption of rhythm and scale, with the figure—myself—moving in a clumsy and erratic way. The body’s ungainly movements create small but significant variations, each maneuver feeling both comedic and awkward. The dance is improvisational, not choreographed, and reflects an inquiry into how we adapt to disruptions. Here, the body is a measuring tool for space and rhythm, used to subtly challenge expectation. The projection, which takes up the surface of the wall, deepens the connection between the figure and the space. The architectural surroundings play an integral role in framing the performance. By interacting with the space, I investigate how the body’s presence can shift perspectives, questioning ideas of control, size, and the alienation that often accompanies unfamiliar environments. The work uses the body's inherent vulnerability as a way to explore larger themes of identity and the fragmented self.
