Date: September 2018

Concept/Description:
This installation, comprising three works—Pheasant, Sheep, and Frog—uses organic materials and projections to explore themes of life, death, and mediation. Each piece creates layered visuals, with light and shadow interacting across surfaces, blurring lines between human and animal realms.

Exhibitions: SAK Kunstbygning, Svendborg, Denmark, 2018

Each piece occupied a different wall in the room, combining light, shadow, and organic materials to evoke spectral images. This setup encouraged reflection on the fluid boundaries between species and forms of life.

• Pheasant: An overhead projector cast shadows of pheasant feathers and fake blood onto Pheasant Killed by Text. This work draws on the theme of roadkill, reflecting on human habits and their environmental consequences.
• Sheep: A sheep jawbone projected onto two sheep skins suspended from a wooden frame with a translucent plastic backdrop. The ghostly image created by the jawbone highlighted themes of memory. The jaw, an artifact from my childhood, subtly evokes the interconnected life of humans and sheep on the Faroe Islands, where sheep are woven into both daily life and cultural traditions.
• Frog: Four transparent plastic containers on the projector’s surface held a flattened roadkill frog and liquids that rippled slightly due to the projector’s ventilator. The projection oscillated between water as an element the frog would naturally thrive in and the unsettling reality of its lifeless form under quasi-scientific observation.

Series: Site-specific, three-part installation
