GARTNER I EGEN HAGE
(Gardener in own garden)

Performance for video
Duration: 9:05 min
large projection

I have been engaged in the artistic prosess and the presentation as a form in this video-performance, which is a mind-map on an artistic prosess and an approach and a collage that consists of pictures and text written directly on the wall.

When mimicing a presentation I have been interested in the humoristic potential in trying to explain a project one is engaged in. Assosiation and improvisation have been important in the making of the video, which is made with simple techniques. Among other things I have been inspired by amateurfilms on Youtube and debate and artprograms on TV, for example the Norwegian Safari in how they portray the role of the artist.

The video has emerged from working with my third novel, and is a comment to this prosess and the first project in a row of several coming in the future. The intention is to convey a complex concept and composition, and have fun at the same time. The performance is also an attempt in creating a character that can operate on its own - a connector between me and the artistic prosess.
