Peeled (2022) Blylageret, Oslo (NO)

Peeled consists of two performance installations; site-specifically made for Blylageret at the old Fort in Oslo. The first performance installation occupies the narrow and lengthy entrance of this section of the fort. As you enter you directly meet an elastic textile void attached around wooden beams which anchors to cavities in the old stone wall. At the end of the void a body leans with the elasticity of the semi-transluscent membrane, stretching it to its tensile threshold. In the adjacent room the second performance installation is constructed around a low structure, fully covering the floor, except from a thin corridor of 50 cm on each side, leaving room for the audience. The floor structure is clad with an elastic semi-transparent membrane. The body is placed inunder the membrane interacting from below.
