Winter is Hereby Cancelled

I took part in the 2015 Hvitstensalong on Saturday 3rd October. : https://www.facebook.com/events/697616150368669/

The performance title was 

'Winter is Hereby Cancelled (Herved er vinteren avlyst)', a situationist intervention in the progress of the seasons (suspending leaves from branches on thread).

The biodegradable sculptural installation produced will remain until nature decides otherwise. It's at the end of the trail, beyond Ola Hvitsten's work.

The Absolute Camel

When Samuel Beckett was at a rehearsal for Play in Germany, the actor wanted to know how his character had died. Beckett said that it may have been a traffic accident, or suicide, or perhaps peacefully in bed. When the actor insisted on knowing, Beckett turned to the director and said with a smirk "Ah, the Absolute Camel" (a joke of the time, since passed into desuetude: if an Englishman wrote about a camel, the title would be "The Camel", a Frenchman "The Camel and Love", and a German "The Absolute Camel").
