The essay Stor Tystnad (Great Silence) was written during the production of my solo exhibition with the same name.
Their common ground is their examination of time, as a concept and idea, and as an experience. The centerpiece of the exhibition was three slide projectors, running simultaneously next to each other, creating a loop of text and images. They speak of time, of man and nature, and of death.
The essay is not an explanation or a continuation of this piece. It is a text that comments on my practice in general, including the artwork that it shares a name with.
The subjects that the essay deals with can be listed as follows: time as a non-linear entity, time as a circle, time as something non-existing. The artistic process (correction: my artistic process) and the importance of the non-verbal aspects of art. Mindless creation as a way of thinking and art as experience and a way of reflection. Money and labour. Death.
