This work was created by me marching back and forth over five frames placed on the floor in the shape of an F, wearing a pair of clogs. I tried to do it in triple time.  Fascist and totalitarian movements are growing stronger in many places of the world in recent times. It is no coincidence that this concurs with the expansion of economic disparities. People in precarious situations are easier to manipulate, and vulnerability opens up for complex responses to the mechanics of power. Power is an essential component of the subject's autonomy. The ability to make free, independent choices is a prerequisite for its existence. But at the same time, this independence inexorably creates a distance between the individual and the environment. It also creates a gap within, between the self-conscious self and its underlying bodily processes. Out of this alienation arises a desire for belonging that can manifest itself in different ways. One of them is the drive to submit to an external stimulus. To set aside one's rationality and independence in favour of the experience of being part of something greater than one's self, something outside its closed existence. This desire is, in many ways, a bodily response, like how the body responds to a rhythm. There is an attraction here that goes deeper than the subject's self-awareness.  One source of inspiration for this work is Bruce Nauman's "Stamping in the Studio".   But where Nauman wandered back and forth in changing rhythmic patterns, I have chosen to march in a simple triple time beat. The triple time is common in many Scandinavian folk dances. There is a Swedish myth about “the Hårga dance” - a version of the piper from Hameln - about a mysterious fiddler with a big black hat who obscured his face. His music immediately made everyone dance, but then they couldn’t stop. The dance continued all night, and finally, the fiddler led the dancers up to the Hårga mountain, where it continued until the flesh detached from their bodies and only the skeleton remained. A classic piece of music about the myth - “Hårgalåten” - is a hambo which, of course, is a dance in triple time.

This full color book, bound with a vinyl cover, is printed to be the exact size and shape of an iPhone. A decade worth of screen shots, this book takes a deep dive into internet culture and identity politics through the examination of emojis, click-bait titles, memes, and selfies. What emerges is a work which represents the fleeting oversimplification of information and identity in the current era. The implications of which are a lack of nuance and loss of cultural specificity. The experience of moving through the pages of this artist book mirror the experience of swiping through social media or a dating app as advertisements creeping  up and down the pages." - Printed Matter (NYC)

Fra utstillingen "Myken1"

"-utstillingen har blitt til i denne pandemi tiden som rene refleksjoner. Jeg har alltid tegnet mye i skissebøker, og nå fikk jeg endelig brukt for det på en måte jeg synes fungerte. Utstillingen er da en skisser fra 2020 som jeg har malt opp som malerier i 2021. Jeg ville at skissene skulle få bli originaler i sin rette form, og det er derfor gjengitt så oppriktig som mulig uten å være låst til å kopiere.

Maleriet er ikke festet til blindramme, men vil bli dette ved salg.
