2022Handmade books (60 copies)14 x 10 cmFrom the group exhibition Rundgang 2022 at the Jutland Art Academy

A five act play to be performed in the mind of the reader. The play was exhibited as part of the annual school exhibition Rundgang at the Jutland Art Academy. 60 copies on display, no refilling of the books on the shelf, leaving the wall emptier with every sold book. 


The play contains 5 (and 1) characters: KROP (BODY), LUFT (AIR), DYBDE (DEPTH), RÅD (ROT), VAND (WATER) and (KØD) ((MEAT)). The characters eventually melt together. (KØD) oozing into the rest of the characters. The play is an absurd narrative about stagnation and grief. A lot of pauses were used to give the sense of stand still. Leaving many pages blank except for the word ‘pause’ on it to indicate the length of the pause; Hopefully making the reading of the play a performative gesture.
