Dødsprosjektet

“Death is too big and overwhelming for me to relate to. And even life, which is the only thing i can relate to, is sometimes too intense and overwhelming. Death as the backdrop for life is a prerequisite for life-expansion. Dødsprosjektet (the death project) had its humble inception almost eight years ago, when i gave birth to my first child. The extreme intensity that i experienced when i gave birth was so overwhelming that i was sure i was going to die. I could not survive something so intense. but i did, and this experience evoked processes in me that have shaped both my life and my artistic practice.”
