Kautokeino

A body of works "Making Sense" is an ongoing project  Study trip to Kautokeino in the beginning of February 2014 was a starting point. Reindeer herding, mineral extraction, rights to use commons, capitalistic driven economy and traditional knowledge are the main elements behind these installations. A conflict between stakeholders, nature and Industry, and my inner conflict are spinning the main wheel of the project "Making Sense". At the moment I am in Kautokeino preparing the last peace of “Making Sense” Coming close to the end of the week, local people are becoming curious about our works. Today I heard an interpretation of my work from a local sami man. I think he explained it even better then I would. Tomorrow is an official opening of the exhibition. Looking forward to hear impressions and critique. Kautokeino is cold, beautiful and wild. Love M.
