Frozen Room
TRIGG, exhibition at Gävle Konstcentrum, Sweden, 20 Jan-22 Feb 2007
My work "Frozen Room" referres to a text by Leif Holmstrand about frozen bodies waiting for new life. I made a corridore with 30 fluorescent tubes of 17000 Kelvin, a very cold light. A sound of breathing was heard in the corridore like it was alive, but people could put on ear protection and be within their own breathing, their own sounds.

The text (in Swedish)
”Frusna kroppar, stela, hårda som is
vilka ännu levde
platsen var en vacker park med en fors
jag drömde att jag spelade på kropparna genom att knacka på dem
med knogarna
tills de slutligen gick sönder i spruckna klanger
nedfrysta kroppar vilka väntar på nytt liv”.

Many thanks to Philips who makes the fluorescent tubes for great support.
