“Dette er historien, ikke allt kan bli sagt”
Prints & sound installation

4-channel sound installation, 41 min, print on 400 gr paper, speakers, cables, paper. 

The work was part of the exhibition The Sighing Sound of Lips Unsatisfied at Telemark Kunstsenter, 26 April - 25 May 2025


In the beginning of 2025, I went to Skien in Norway to interview women about inherited garments. The conversations sparked memories and emotions, and stories about the origins of specific textiles, family stories (and drama!) that were passed on through these garments and how these objects are vibrant matters, that constantly push and challenge us - much in the same way as language.

I wanted to explore how inherited textiles and garments function as bearers of memory and as witnesses to life. Can these wordless textiles act as media for stories and emotions for which we have no language?
