In their jointly developed installation, Norwegian artist Ewa Jacobsson (*1962) and trumpeter Hilde Marie Holsen draw on Jacobsson’s «knowledge archive»: a collection of found objects, texts and sounds that Jacobsson has amassed over the course of 40 years and that also includes fragile or seemingly worthless objects such as knitting needles, marzipan candies or beads. Holsen and Jacobsson have composed the soundscape of the installation together, combining sounds from objects, recordings of Holsen’s trumpet, and those of the Geneva-based Ensemble Contrechamps with field recordings and recited texts that resound from inside the objects.

German premiere presentation. Commissioned by SWR and Ultima Festival Oslo with the kind support of Norwegian Arts Council and Notam.
