EXHIBITION TEXT:
Katherine Butcher and Hanne Dahl Geving collaborate to create a shared space at Heimdal Kunstforening. The exhibition, titled 'Moments. This is a moment', 2023 reflects on the intimate relationship between the body and the mind as a series of shimmering moments.


Just as light refracts and dances across a mirror, these moments refract and reflect the intricate nature of our human experience, encouraging us to contemplate and appreciate the delicate harmony residing within us. Hanne Dahl Geving's two artworks "Derfor løper jeg" (Therefore I run) and "du må huske å puste" (you must remember to breathe), Hanne explores the interplay between the body and thoughts through sound and performance to question how these moments, when we actively seek this connection, can have a profound influence on us. Her live performance "Derfor løper jeg" delves into this dynamic through activities that elevate the heart rate, while the sound piece "du må huske å puste" concentrates on instances when the body and mind find synchrony.


Katherine Butcher's "SHINY FLOOR SHOW (SFS)" acts as a platform for the entire exhibition. The installation of standard mirrored vinyl claims the space and transforms the moments into a focal point. SHINY FLOOR SHOW is the skin of the exhibition, radiant and alive, becoming a canvas that bears the imprint of Geving's physical performances - scrapes, scratches, and cuts - transforming it into a testament and reflection of present, past, and anticipated moments.
