När rutin blir ritual /When routine becomes ritual
2021
A performance in three acts where I portray myself and a door as object and subject respectively.
In the first act I lie down next to the door to perform a back somersault. Faceing down, I do a slow rise for 20 minutes; I push my body up from the floor to standing position, after which the clothes expose parts of my body. By slowing down my normal speed, hiding my face and letting my clothes expose my body, I try to steer away from the reading of me as a subject. In the second act, I smear the door surfaces and parts with Vaseline, and the third act is the smeared door lying on the floor.
