Sidsel Christensen: Pulling the Earth Strings

Through Pulling the Earth Strings, Lydgalleriet is materially transformed into an enveloping, interactive installation, a 'root network' of vibrating and sound-resonating ropes the audience connects with.

As the audience enters the rope installation, a sound-activated narrator's voice invites them to venture on a speculative journey into an expanded dimension: that of the ground of Nordnes beneath Lydgalleriet, where they can meet a larger more-than-human being, with whom they are invited to communicate.

When the audience connect with the rope installation they affect both the installation and each other, potentially experiencing an expanded conversation that transgresses subjective, temporal and spatial boundaries.
