Levitation # 3 (2023) Haugar Art Museum, Tønsberg (NO)


Levitation is a vertical installation of a body suspended in an elastic, semi-translucent membrane. The weight of the body stretches the membrane to its tensile threshold as they floats inside the cocoon-like space. Converging the brink of rupture, the membrane reaches a stage of immaculate transparency, seemingly dissolving and melting into the skin of the performer.
