Preparations for the unknown Siri Ekker Svendsen

A young woman is waiting in a wardrobe, preparing to walk out while wearing a blindfold. She fails, but soon starts over again. The idea that we are constantly being in some sort of movement between opposites, between hope and fear, between longing and accept, is revealing something incredibly vital - at the same time strongly ambivalent but yet very dynamical. "Preparations..

Found Footage Site Specific Archive Theatre Performance Art Lenka Klimesova

The architecture found footage story. There is an old amphitheatre and many analogue films in this video. A monument of an irrecoverable ideology. The absurdity of the political ideology. A person from the future explores the footage and makes site specific actions and shows the last screening in the amphitheatre.

Urging Absence Stina Pehrsdotter

Urging absence is about the contradistinction between desire and loss. A visualization of the decision not to give birth any more.
