This work is the result of a residency where I was given the use of Fritz Røed's previous studio, in Villa Faraldi, Italy. The studio has a very strong character and atmosphere, with many articles left from his use of the place.
I have taken some of the tools that I found there and put them to use to make not sculpture but film and video. The turntable used by Røed to turn his figures, has been used by me to make a 360 degree video of the space.
The ceramic oven can be taken apart and I have taken a section, placed it in the centre of the space and produced portraits of the space as reflected in the oven's walls. These portraits include a self-portrait, thus alluding to a relationship between Fritz and I, through the shared use of this space.
I produced a text (Little Sunday Princess) which was presented in a pamphlet alongside the video and images.
The resulting work was presented in an exhibition during the summer festival in Villa Faraldi. Link here to the Fritz Røed Fund website for more images from the festival. The work was exhibited simultaneously in Time Town Hall.
