Poems

A series of short texts was collected over a year and finally put together with images taken during roughly the same time.Texts that first were collected under three themes, in total about one hundred fragments, assembled in a kind of poem-booklets. Those three booklets would be turned into micro-sripts, for upcoming short videos or performances. Below there are two examples of micro-scripts, paired with images that were turned vertically, (e.g. Georg Baselitz) and called vertical horizons.

Vertikal-Horisont-Åsele

FACET no 11

unnoticed centre                                                                                                                                                                                                              the yellow signal stripes of the wasp

he sits there so annoying                                                                                                                  evident                                                                                                                                             exclusive                                                                                                                                          confident                                                                                                                                                                                                                          and confidential

without doubt                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I am one-legged ambivalent

experienced juggling balls are in the air                                                                                                                                                                      soon falling to the ground                                                                                                                                                                                            frozen by perspectives

vicious circle or idling speed                                                                                                                                                                                        your choice                                                                                                                                                                                                                        oh no he is not self-satisfied                                                                                                                                                                                             or stuck-up

just naively clear                                                                                                                                                                                                      slender-limbed and armed                                                                                                                                                                                            who needs to choose?

Vertikal-Horisont-6

FACET no 16

misty back                                                                                                                                                                                                                         cut lips

I backwards                                                                                                                                                                                                                         he forwards

one seam allowance between                                                                                                                                                                                         he sees himself

when I sew stretched pieces of cloth together                                                                                                                                                                  I see both

an indefinite body                                                                                                                                                                                                             he thinks he knows                                                                                                                                                                                                               I know I don't

the tacking thread is too short
