Journey
A performance
Lake Sognsvann, Oslo Norway
I made Journey during a year of homelessness.
I lived and worked illegally 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 was the making of the raft and would end when the raft broke free.
Kommune Politi closed down the performance hours after the raft broke free,over concerns for public safety.
In the months leading up to Journey, I camped in the forest around Oslo with some Polish and Czech job seekers.
We attempted to build a winter cabin, abandoning the build after discovery by the same local authorities.
