Performance in black, with pillar and steel.
During my residency in Ny Ålesund, in September 2021, I divided the “In Alignment” project into 3 parts.
This specific performance was built around found objects at site, as a character dressed in black. The objects I used and the performance I did was inspired by Ny Ålesund’s history as a former mining site.
In Alignment: `The phenomenon when a navigator observes two fixed reference points that are in line with the navigator. `
In Alignment (Overrett) explores the individual's relationship to nature, our acquired sense of ownership of the landscape, and how public rights of access are challenged by ever-increasing mass tourism and human environmental footprint.
The project investigates the core elements of the landscape by spending as much time in the particular landscape I work in. This includes long durational walks, field work and performances that investigates the rituals of movement and repetitive actions. It is the place I navigate myself through that makes the decisions on how I respond to details in both the place and its inhabitants.
