Waiting for the Northern Lights and Improvisation
Collection Lambert, Avignon, France
June 15, 2024
Made during the wine tasting of Côtes du Rhône, Collection Lambert, Avignon, France, this improvised performance followed a simple protocol: using the audio track from Waiting Room for the Northern Lights alongside any instrument available on site. Here, I collaborated with a waiter, who handed me wine bottles filled with varying amounts of water. I used these to create live loops, layering them with electromagnetic recordings made on Fjellheisen, Norway
