LLANTO POR LOS DESAPARECIDOS

Performance, 2 hours the first day, 3 hours the second and third day.

The 18th, 19th and 20th of December 2015.

CELLARCUBE, Asker, Norway.

I sat in the smallest room of CELLARCUBE, where I repeated carceleras, a flamenco form that sprang out of Andalusian prisons. Between each repetition, I tore white, blank sheets of paper to pieces, and let them fall to the floor. In the two other rooms, I had installed gauze, a metallic trash bin filled with barbed wire and a text on the wall. Here’s the text, in Norwegian:

Da de pågrep deg, var du stille.

Da de kastet deg i fangehullet, var du stille.

Da de lenket deg fast, kom det ingen lyd.

Men hver natt rant det carceleras ut av munnvikene dine.

Hver natt raste murene, sprinklene skalv.

Hvis dette ikke er sant.

Dette som jeg nå forteller deg.

Hver natt var månen eneste vitne.
