Rhythm - Analysis
(2010)

The project originated from an investigation of a street in Viborg. The street is seen as a tunnel because it is narrow, and the adjacent buildings are constructed in a continuous line, only interrupted by adjoining roads, small gaps between houses, and gates leading to courtyards. Many people move along this street every day, where they are consciously or unconsciously influenced by the adjacent interruptions.

My interest in the two rows of houses that encircle the street developed into a humanizing correspondence between them. I unfolded what I had experienced and translated it into rhythm and tempo, which, through a stringed instrument, could "play" the essence and use of the street, with the instrument simultaneously serving as an archive for all its layers.

The project was an attempt to showcase what a person experiences when moving linearly through this dialogue. And that, using the instrument, one could recall their movement and experience of the street, as a kind of mnemonic device.
