Unforeseen Challenges

Some of the first thoughts arising for the exhibition was:
Having a room with art - and something including the visitor in the room

Inspired by 1:1 site specific performances to interactive art installations

Instead of making knots in the brain of rabbitwhole thinking, it has been important so use this project as a rehearsal ground for preparing for the unknown. For unforeseen challenges to obstacles and wind down the hill for easy times. Instead the focus was to nurture the life around the project as to researching in nature - keep exploring, keep resting, going back and forth and going with the flow if something naturally would occur that seemed fitting. Not going through force or deadlines. Neither being beneficial to do this if the body would be in a period of needing more rest or focusing on something entirely else. Therefore alligning with the body's energy levels, both using this as a break, a charge up and a challenge to stop when the feeling of overhwelm would appear to often.
Shedding away thoughts of perfetion
A fixed idea of how things should, could or would be
Just letting things happen
As the main challenge in this

Then. What happened the most was all the picture being taken but not knowing where to put them. When visiting forests, the coast lines to hills and hidden roads. Thoughts of including these something came more and more often and a few months ago a deal was made to print some out - just to have it cancelled just before winter solstice and other holodays. This suddenly put up some obstacles: will it be beneficial to pursure the idea of having printed out photos in the exhibition or is it enough just on the website - best to let go of it or? And then a barley grain infection hid the eye and the bed was the main place to spend the whole vacation. The questions are still reamining unknown. Printing, frames and passepartout - everything runs up in a small budget and the days are moving towards the vernissage, maybe they will show up later on or not at all. How to handle these unforeseen challenges might be beneficial in life as we cannot predict everything and constantly need to balance: "what is most important to focus on right now?".

Letting this being both being a reminder to the one readin that it is okay if the process changes as life changes, back and forth. Like the tide. Everything is in constant movement and everything is, in a funny way, just as it should be.
