Live videoscape concept developed during a residency at Velferden - Sokndal Scene for Samtidskunst in 2022 with Hazel Barstow and OAK & SHAW.
Since then the concept has been re-worked and performed by Karoline Klasen Holland.

The videoscapes were created using natural and found materials surrounding the old mining factory buildings at Sokndal senter for samtidskunst. Industrial scraps, moss, mining sand, stones, plastic rubble. I collected objects assosiating to landscapes, to the large perspectives and emotions. Mountain masses, rivers, underground rootsystems, futuristic cityscapes, towers.
The different "scenes" were composed through an experimental process in dialogue with the music and topics that arose in Kaja and Tobias´s script. I wanted to create live images reminiscent of vast and abandoned places void of humans. Through improvised sessions we worked on small choreographies, where each detail, change and movement was magnified dramatically in the projection.
In this process I search for moments where all the elements come together in "happy accidents" and work together with the music, much in the way elements in nature behave, collaborate and evolve slowly.
