Multimedia installation (poem loop 18 minutes)

Østfold Kunstsenter

A poem and a mental spa experience inspired by the slug and its two different slimes and their purposes. The slug represents intersexuality and healing, with it's muscular and exposed body it shows us the possibility to move patiently at a steady phase, being strong and vulnerable at the same time.

Full  poem text:

Follow an iridescent track

to a Sneak-in Chapel

slide into the moonpool

it’s a dark spa

Slower, slower

xperience shower

drooping tears belong in here

All vaporize!

out of time

for an anti-age slime climb

an elastic incarnation

and one soft foot 

sailing

from floor to ceiling

Ancient soul soft

steaming in the Slimepool

a slug therapist under the night

pure muscle

Freshly squeezed

Forget it I’m fine

I gave away all my moonshine

to take tonight straight and black

the truth is in there

if trails 

are veils
