Journey
A performance
Lake Sognsvann, Oslo Norway
I lived and worked for ten days and nights on a frozen lake, working with a traditional ice saw to cut a free-floating raft out of its metre-thick ice.
The journey would end when the raft broke free. See video here.
Kommune Politi closed down the piece immediately after the ice broke free,over concerns for public safety.
I made Journey during a year of homelessness. A search for time and space to live and breathe.
During the months leading up to Journey, I camped with some Polish and Czech job seekers in the forest around Oslo.
We attempted to build a winter cabin to survive the winter, only to abandon the build after discovery by the same local authorities. See pictures here.
