TESTOMONY - the confessions of a body, a performance in collaboration with Robert Johansson
-Kunstbanken, Hamar, Norway 2003
A stage decorated with a gothic pattern with two rhino heads on each side and a stag beetle in the background,
a scene in which two of Norway´s strongest weight lifters were invited to perform. First man out lifted 235 kilos
and number two managed 275 kilos and they did this as many times as they could. Microphones attached to their
cheeks exaggerated their "uuhs" and "aahs".
TESTOMONY was a performance about the body as shell, surface,
language, myth and stage, manifested itself through explosive, primitive and raw strength.
