Undertow. An owl's cry, 2026, Bergen Kunsthall

12-channel ambisonic sound installation; duration 31’ ; speakers, metal ropes, cables, wood, candle wax, carpet and a sitting pillow

composed based on unmodified field-recordings of a small stream, through autumn-winter-spring transission.

I am trying to connect with ancestral knowledge and memory by slow listening, sensing and field-recording very small running water stream

in a area where forest grows into swamp; a area that I sense is sacred and loaded with residual energy and memory.

As I lay my tears above the forests and waters I have grown from.

Rooting and melting, becoming boundless, above and under.
