Concepción 2010

When a city can move 3,04 m everything becomes relatively in a strange way. Suddenly the references changes position and a place turns into an other. The question whether it is the same place or a new one, and how to relate to it then, was things that resulted in this work; a text piece. Some sort of a philosophical reflection of the change that the power of earth contributed with, that had the exactly same length and direction (western direction) as the real move of the city Concepción (Chile) during the eathquake 2010.

 

EN HEL STAD GAV SIG AV. EN HEL STAD LÄT SIG PÅMINNAS OM ATT LEVANDE MASSA KRÄVER RÖRELSE. EN HEL STAD LÅTSADES SEDAN SOM OM INGET HADE HÄNT. SLOG SIG BARA NER 3,04 M BORT.

 

 

(eng. trans.) AN ENTIRE CITY MOVED. AN ENTIRE CITY LET ITSELF RECALL THAT LIVING MASS DEMANDS MOVEMENT. A WHOLE CITY THEN PRETENDED AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. JUST SETTLE DOWN 3.04 M AWAY.
