TEMPORARY MEMORIALS
Site-spesific performance, Youngstorget / Oslo

There has been a lot of debate regarding memorials in the aftermath of the terror attack, 22nd of July 2011.Time does not heal all wounds, and the political and societal tendencies of our time - still triggers the feeling of being afraid. With this performance, i wished to challenge what a memorial can be, as well as reminding of what we promised each other; openness, tolerance, unity and love.Og i forlengelse av det spørre: hva er egentlig et godt sted for refleksjon og bearbeidelse? Hva er for invaderende? Og hvordan bør et minnesmerke egentlig se utI Temporary Memorials ønsket jeg å skape en kollektiv og temporær situasjon som skulle gi rom til et oppmerksomt blikk; til utholdenhet og ansvar.
