FLOATING LANDSCAPES IS A HAPPENING WITH 8 CONTEMPORARY DANCERS AND 1000 METERS OF COTTON CANVAS SNAKES IN 5, 10 , 15 AND 20 METER LENGTHS. WE SHOW UP AN EARLY MORNING IN THE CITY CENTER, LATE NIGHT IN A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN, OR IN THE SUBURBS DURING DINNER TIME. WE PARK THE TRUCK WITH THE OBJECT, START EMPTYING, SLOW AND METODICALLY WHILE PEOPLE COMING HOME FROM WORK SEE US…MAYBE NOT SO INTERESTED AT FIRST. ACKNOWLEDGING US DOING OUR DO. THE INTEREST CHANGES WHEN THEY DETECT US THE DAY AFTER ALSO….

IN MANY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WE TURN UP. STAY FOR A SOLID 4-6 HOURS, SOMETIMES LONGER. HOW IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE CARESSING THE GROUND AND THE AREAS THAT HAS GOTTEN NO ATTENTION FOR A WHILE.

THE PROJECT IS MADE IN COLLABORATION WITH LANDING AND THE CONTEMPORARY DANCERS VENKE MARIE SORTLAND, IDA GUDBRANDSEN, SIGRID KOPPERDAL, INA COLL KJØLMOEN, MARIANNE SKJELDAL, PERNILLE HOLDEN, RIKKE BAEWERT, INGRID HAAKSTAD.
