SPRING
Group exhibition TERRÄNG, Chicago, USA, 2024.
SPRING is the first part of a two-part work SPRING & FALL. A performative artwork in which I am once again playing with the sculptural with a body in motion. The titles refer both to the seasons, spring / fall, and to the actions of running and falling. The idea behind the work is that SPRING always will be performed in the springtime and FALL in the fall. Through these pieces, I explore the cycle that occurs in nature, where something dies to give life to something else. A process, where we, as individuals, can discover a rhythm of life that allows us to grow together.
This work reflects my ambition to collaborate with local dancers. In SPRING, this vision took shape through a collaboration with the dance company Gray Scale, Chicago, USA.
