Waiting room for the northern lights


Solo show, Gamla Galleri Snerk, Tromsø, Norway.
12.04.2024 – 22.04.2024

In this solo show, I furnished the gallery like a waiting room, and composed a sound installation developed after a period of field recording and observation in Tromsø. After encountering the tourism infrastructures promising optimised views of the Northern Lights. I transformed the gallery space into a “waiting room” and composed a 30-minute sound loop using three sources: Very Low Frequency (VLF) electromagnetic recordings, ambient harmonium improvisations played during moments of waiting, and field recordings captured with a Canon microphone.
