#Forms and Figures

Art can be your expression for the deepest feelings, memories and wishes as well as the wind for blowing your ship in new directions. And nature the source for re-calibrating your cells for renewing your body over and over as you wake up to another morning sun and goes to sleep when the moon takes over

In summer 2024 the spot for the exhibition was booked. I had no idea or plan beside knowing one thing:

"THIS NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF A SELF DISCOVERING JOURNEY, AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MYSELF, HAVE A GOAL TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAND FIRM IN MY OWN FOUNDATION WITH SOMETHING I FEEL IS ALLIGNED WITH AS A HUMAN BEING"

Why?

From my experience of 15+ years in the performance business, many people think vaguely into boxes. Which I then also made a performance about one and toured around with and yet, people wanted to put that and us, into boxes.

But if we loosed ourself from boxes - meaning interpretatinos of what art, performance, experience and expressions are, then what is left? A vague feeling of something that once was, but otherwise, pretty much a present moment and openness to whatever might be able to happen.

I am a very sensitive person and from I was a very little child, too intelligent to communicate with my peers so I did with the grown ups. I was bored in daycare, kindergarden and school and when I entered high school, I had troubles. It took me 10 years to realize my social competences were low, I did not know how to co-work, commnicate and when people did not catch the fine details in things as I did, and I could not communicate it (beside singing it, but only a few could catch up my intentions behind that), I had to give up and my anxiety started to blossom. My way of seeing the world felt alienating and many systems did not make sense: why do people wanna have more paper pieces with numbers on, if this means that their neighbors or the trees or animals would suffer? Especially when these papers with numbers on often did not solve their problems of emotions, but only granted access to more exquisite and finer experiences that only a few will be able to experience during their current life span, instead of using them on equivalent standards for the mere society around them. Making greater distances, making greater blocks of buildings of fences of lesser nature to not only destroying the natural environment in which we were born but also making more distance between us who were born in groups and where study after study keeps showing how isolation makes us sick. Us meaning every living thing on the planet.

No matter which coarse in life, my intentions has always been to benefit for the greater and helping those around me. Time after time I have been offered some pretty fine deals, but always declined because I did not feel aligned with their values (or more specifically, the lack of).

This project was never something I imagined and yet, as I look back, a lot of the tings I have been doing my entire life, has always had the same thread in it. No matter if the idea was expressed through music, photography, theater, dance, words, video etc. I have always wanted to inspired others to grow. And keep trying. No matter what and no matter the amount of trying. Keep going on, with small tiny steps, acknowledging how life, self healing and time goes on and on, and a few steps back and then on and on in nonlinear paths. - like the tide.
