Stages and Storeys -

Video and sound installation at Kunstnernes Hus, November 2006. The last years I have been involved in projects related to music and danceperformances. Stages and Storeys is a work evolving from these experiences. The installation consist of two videoprojections, a red floor, a thousand books and three different layers of sound. In my work I am interested in language, movement and perception and in this particular work I wanted to work with a complexity of different layers interweaved and also in some way stage the viewer into my work. This was inspired from my stagework and also Italo Calvino´s book "If on a Winter´s Night a Traveler" and how this book makes the viewer involved/responsible in reading of the story.

Three different soundtracks played simultaniously, each loop with a different timespan. The videoprojections also had different timespans and the quality of expression was different although the basic material was collected from the same videoshoot.
