Avgang 2023: A Forest of Eyes
Þurs ríst ek þér ok þrjá stafi: ergi ok oeði ok óþola
A Forest of Eyes is a love story and a magic spell that incorporates Virtual Reality, a Kravik Lyre, and Scandinavian Bronze Age gaming devices. The installation is a component of an extensive research project centered around Skírnirsmál, a poem from the Poetic Edda.
At the heart of the narrative lies the rune magic intricately woven within the text, specifically employing the term Ergi. Historically, this term has encompassed a range of transgressive activities, including but not limited to bottoming.
Guided tours of the performance will commence in front of the reception area of KHiO and proceed throughout the building. The entire duration of the performance is 2 hours.
