In collaboration with a synchronized swimming coach and a group of freedivers.&nbsp; As long as I can remember I have been having dreams about the sea. Sometimes it is calm and comforting, sometimes it is dark and stormy. Somehow I am never afraid. The dream of the sea is a dream of an embrace. Of safety, comfort, of dissolving and becoming one with something larger. I think a lot about where my body ends and where the next person begins. I think about how we are made up in large parts of water, that all the seas and waters of the earth are connected, that the sea is inside of all of us, that we all came from the sea. My longing for and interest in the sea intensified when I was living in Tromsø, with the proximity to the water and the warming of the sea more present than ever with the Arctic ocean around the corner and the history and identity of Northern Norway as villages and societies living off what the sea would give – the fish of course but from the 1970s also oil and gas. Can we dissolve, re-imagine our boundaries, the way we structure our language and our world? What if the dichotomies we use to perceive our world are just one looking glass. We don’t have the words to describe a world without dichotomies, but perhaps our bodies understand more.

Put your headphones on and embark on an immersive sonic journey, the narrator’s voice directing your attention to the surrounding environment as well as your own bodily rhythm and movements while putting one foot in front of the other. In a contemplative as well as humoristic experience the listener is invited to reflect on the act of walking as a way to approach longing, thinking, the unknown, and doing nothing. The piece is 15 min long and was originally commissioned by Konstfrämjandet Västernorrland and Västernorrlands Museum for the outdoors exhibition Wander/Wonder taking place along a hiking trail in Örnsköldsvik. More information about the project can be found here. Review in Volym here. June–Sept 2023 @ Konstfrämjandet Västernorrland / Västernorrlands Museum, Örnsköldsvik.

Exploring the emotional aspects of migration and exile, such as longing, desire and hope. A narrator’s voice, field recordings and musical elements place the listener in a meditative walking state, directing your focus towards the inner and outer landscapes of your mind and surroundings, moving your body while adding multiple layers of times and places.

Made out of dead wood collected during solo excursions in forests in Sweden.&nbsp; “Something is wrong. I’m not sure what, but I need to do something about it. I work out more, eat less gluten, put the phone away, meditate, read books on how to improve your relationships, take more walks, eat less sugar, do a tarot reading, call a friend, go to therapy, search my soul. I don’t know exactly what is missing, but I long to never need anything again. My desire is difficult to articulate. Words are not enough, they are always an approximation. Sometimes the body knows more. I walk for miles and hours in solitude, find a rhythm, my thoughts meander like roots. I fantasize about dissolving, becoming one with something larger. The eyes see, the hands find, a knife follows a shape. Failed attempts to repair what’s broken, resurrect something dead, reverse time. To try (in vain) to find comfort in it. I fall asleep and wake up among those who have seen ten of my lifetimes or more. I feel insignificant. Time is all there is, my inadequacy is all I have.” Documentation photos by Malin Lin Nordström (1-7), Jasmin Daryani (8-9) and Alexander Rynéus (10-12).&nbsp; Jan 2022 @ MFA solo exhibition, Galleri

Vilde, who throughout their lives have spent more time in the water than on land, make an attempt to become underwater creatures and swim out to sea. This live performance was developed for the exhibition “To Live as A Mayfly”, a series of interventions in public space curated by Failure, Understanding, Care, (&amp; Kunst), Tromsø.&nbsp;“Omfavne meg, hold pusten min” starts at the Tromsø waterfront, where the two sisters in wetsuits enter the saltwater and start making attempts to stay underwater. They swim out further and further, staying under the surface longer and longer, until they eventually disappear into the sea. The performance is accompanied by the following text: “How does it feel to wash in on a beach, to collect in a cloud and fall down over the earth, to be pressed out into a tree branch, a grass straw? You are a forest pond, a mountain lake and the open sea. The water floats in and out of you. Your body is a dam. Can we understand something new about ourselves and our world if we can take the perspective of the water? Let go of control. What does the water want? If I become one with you, what will I long for? &nbsp;This performance is a thought experiment, a question and an attempt. It’s a dream about becoming one with the everchanging sea, about breathing underwater, being embraced by the big blue, the shimmering and the menacingly dark, dissolving and merging, frictionless and weightless. The water in your body is pulled like a magnet towards the large body of water in front of you. You feel the caressing of your skin, the pull of the current, you came from the sea and the sea you will return to, a small rill becomes a spring flood, your bounds cease to exist. You have become something else, you have become what you always were.” Review in Norwegian:https://www.hakapik.no/home/2021/9/14/en-kunstnerisk-vandring-langs-tromss-dystopiske-vannkant Documentation photos by Petter Cohen except first one by Anna Näumann.&nbsp; August 2021 @ Failure, Understanding, Care, (&amp; Kunst), Tromsø, Sweden <img width="2000" height="1125" width_o="2000" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ad5584fd1c7b9faa9ae3aac6054183437fbde44e45baa3f5dceee9f61acfad1/foto-av-anna-naumann.jpg" data-mid="121481719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ad5584fd1c7b9faa9ae3aac6054183437fbde44e45baa3f5dceee9f61acfad1/foto-av-anna-naumann.jpg" /><img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/622c384d3d6caa00eda4db1d4f48be4816fa9294b6be66af3728ed85ff66c76d/PetterCohen_25082021_1789_namnlost.jpg" data-mid="121481771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/622c384d3d6caa00eda4db1d4f48be4816fa9294b6be66af3728ed85ff66c76d/PetterCohen_25082021_1789_namnlost.jpg" /> <img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cebe03fd1e97eb271ad0e88658177f1183e34d0ddc543c4684f9a429d35786d/PetterCohen_25082021_1802_namnlost.jpg" data-mid="121481751" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1cebe03fd1e97eb271ad0e88658177f1183e34d0ddc543c4684f9a429d35786d/PetterCohen_25082021_1802_namnlost.jpg" /><img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13bd9a2894b61d56ba78651e2a15ef31c0b842535caf0cc6ae70196ba9ab0eac/PetterCohen_25082021_1860_namnlost.jpg" data-mid="121481774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13bd9a2894b61d56ba78651e2a15ef31c0b842535caf0cc6ae70196ba9ab0eac/PetterCohen_25082021_1860_namnlost.jpg" /> <img width="2363" height="3543" width_o="2363" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3a51dff96df230e4ea37688db7fd131bf2a3a90eb298b4ae172205c7bcca8e9/PetterCohen_25082021_1834_namnlost.jpg" data-mid="121481831" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3a51dff96df230e4ea37688db7fd131bf2a3a90eb298b4ae172205c7bcca8e9/PetterCohen_25082021_1834_namnlost.jpg" /> <img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/579bfe2f7c4577e716ed716f59100873e826811da52332c2b69409af68f1f2e9/PetterCohen_26082021_2118_namnlost.jpg" data-mid="121481857" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/579bfe2f7c4577e716ed716f59100873e826811da52332c2b69409af68f1f2e9/PetterCohen_26082021_2118_namnlost.jpg" /><img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad85fc0e47dff687647f9b13910625fb518c9c4498b09ca5a0241536a1006340/PetterCohen_26082021_2113_namnlost.jpg" data-mid="121481839" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad85fc0e47dff687647f9b13910625fb518c9c4498b09ca5a0241536a1006340/PetterCohen_26082021_2113_namnlost.jpg" /> https://malinlinnordstrom.com/Strandkantens-folkspa Wed, 13 Oct 2021 07:44:16 +0000 Malin Lin Nordström https://malinlinnordstrom.com/Strandkantens-folkspa STRANDKANTENS FOLKSPA Bathing jetty, lasercut text, flag and flagpole, prohibition sign (2021) Strandkantens folkspa (or The Waterfront Folkspa) was developed as a part of the group exhibition “Strömningar”, a series of site-responsive interventions in public space in Södertälje. Södertälje has a history and identity as a port town but also as an old bathing resort. This project examines the intersection between these two identities and functions, as well as playing with different ideas for how to use public space.The sculptural installation was accompanied by the following text:&nbsp;“Långsamt glider din kropp ner i vattnet och den mjuka svalkan smeker din hud, du tar ett simtag, två, du låter vattnet rena dina sinnen, du är viktlös, du är ett med vattnet, med alla som passerat här före dig och alla som kommer efter dig. Tillverkandet av allmänningen påverkar tid och rum, som ett slags öppnande av platser framkallat av flytande trä i vatten intill badande sinnen utom sig av spaliknande upplevelser.Är den här platsen din att ta i besittning?En gammal badort erbjuder sin service till allmänheten, ett folkspa vid strandkanten, en flotte i kanalen som bär allt befolkningen efterfrågar, här passerar 40 båtar per dygn och sju kontinenter, om ett ögonblick är jag borta igen.“ On the bathing jetty, a lasercut text reading as follows: “Självorganisering är att skapa ett tredje rum, en särskild koncentration av tid och energi, där spontaniteten och nödvändigheten länkas samman. Att utgå från en position av begär, ett erkännande av en frånvaro, och genom interaktion forma något bortanför det individuella. En konversation om det gemensamma, en förhandling för att kunna existera parallellt, i pluralitet och oberoende. Ett horisontellt rum för alternativa perspektiv bortanför institutionella strukturer. Att göra saker på egna villkor utifrån en känsla av angelägenhet, ansvar och agens. En idé om hur man vill existera i världen.” More information about the exhibition:https://www.sodertaljekonsthall.se/projects/stromningar/ The project was developed together with Jens Masimov as part of the group exhibition “Strömningar”, a collaboration between Södertälje Konsthall and Konstfack. The flag was made by Karin Tokunaga.
