The Mountain September 2023

Building a Japanese stonegarden up in a river, on a mountain in Alta, Northern Norway, mainly of material from the site. The video, with a voiceover, of the act became the artpiece. Basically there was the mountain and on the other side of the world, in Japan, there was an old tradition of organizing stones as gardens, often with water playing up with the stones. Which story could they together tell us? During the work building the garden, the paradoxial event came to me with stories which naturally has been, and still is being, created in these slowly moving masses. Time is not an event, but never without events.
