Zwuuuush
2022Performance with Andrea Mailund Glahn, Karen Tange Sattrup Lorentzen, Anne Sofie Skovlund Nielsen, Ingeborg Bjarno Thomsen, Ane Winding Nordestgaard
Duration: 17 minutesFrom the solo exhibition Udenjordisk abduktion at SpLab
Performative reading of the play Zwuuuush. The piece was written for the solo exhibition titled Udenjordisk abduktion, which took place in the exhibition space SpLab. The reading was performed by Andrea Mailund Glahn, Karen Tange Sattrup Lorentzen, Anne Sofie Skovlund Nielsen, Ingeborg Bjarno Thomsen, Ane Winding Nordestgaard and Cecilie Julie Holst Christensen. The play unfolds a meeting with extraterrestrial beings, exploring possible communication through sound, objects, vibrations and visual markings on the manuscript. Zwuuuush was an investigation of some hypnopompic hallucinations experienced a year prior.
The walls of the exhibition space were lined with hand knitted motives with dreamlike scenes. The performance piece was performed only once at the vernissage for the exhibition and after that only existed as the manuscript and a few props left behind in the room. As the temporality of the piece was important (referencing the memory of a dream), there is only photo documentation as a portfolio-compromise and no video documentation exists.
