Besatta lekar och jag leker besatt / Obsessive Play and Playing Obsessed

performance 25 min

Art Inside Out, Tjolöholm slott 2024

During the opening of the exhibition Lost Worlds, I performed the work Obsessive Play and Playing Obsessed, a performative journey with the audience where myth and folklore are shaken up and form an alluring and at the same time repulsive creature.

The performance led the audience on a walk through the front garden of the Castle and its surrounding woods. The audience could follow the script of the performance with the help of scenography - book sculptures clinging to trees, stones and objects in the garden with tentacle-like arms. Metamorphosed into a creature through costume made with silicone, I sing and read from the books.
