Through durational performance and printmaking I explore the body as a place of emotion and energy. As a response to the aspiration for a cohesive self-image, I reflect on personal experience. Combined with memory and imagination, a visual journey involves symbolic portraiture and layered references. I am interested in physical and emotional space, which I attempt to define through an instinctive engagement with site-specific live- and recorded performance. Raw moving image and audio installation together with traces of activity are key elements, which test endurance and often suggest an absence or presence of the artist.

Work of art I would like to makeI am intrigued by what happens in the transition between the work being a live performance and video. What has happened then and what has happened since? There is a clear change of meaning to the work. To me, raw moving image reinforces the sense of time - and rather than risk, it becomes more about duration and the ‘interplay of the ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ times and places’ (Kaye, Nick). My interest lies in trying to bridge the gap between past and present via filmed performances projected in site-specific locations. Can I unite and live with both the past and the present? As an artist and producer, I have the option to manipulate and change the work, but I feel the realness in raw documentation is true to life. I aim to give the observer a chance to go through a process together with me in time and place. It is important to me to challenge the strength and endurance of my own body, and I aim to provoke a struggle and vulnerability through durational work.
I would like to make a large wall based audio / video installation consisting of a black ‘board’, a rail from which I would be hanging off to perform the piece and a projection of the performance. I will be moving across the wall disposing off chunks of chalk equivalent to parts of my own body weight. The performance will come to an end once all chalk has turned into dust and only traces remain. |
