<Sounds of Silence

“Sounds associated with the forest come close to playing the main role in a video installation, in which a dancer puts on a sculpture – like textile artwork.

With the movement, the work comes to life both as a visual object and a shamanic costume akin to a musical instrument, reacting to bodily movements. It may also be construed as a gigantic piece of jewellery, a body accessory requiring a wearer in order to become complete. The dance work provides a kind of key to Kulju’s entire production. It is based, like dance often is, on the balancing of strength and fragility.”
