In the project Til Tromsø, Fra Tromsø* (To Tromsø, From Tromsø) produced by Sadio Nor the performers used readymade art works in new artistic meetings with the audience. The art was linked to other art, adding new meaning to the works. The performers used art works they could physically bring along, for instance a poem by Morten Wintervold, a CD with Nasra & Gaute and a photo by Ingun A. Mæhlum.

Til Tromsø, Fra Tromsø consisted of small meetings between a performer, two art works and one or several spectator(s). It was NOT for the large masses, but rather a small gift given to people around Tromsø.

Quote (translated to English by Sceneweb’s Lillian Bikset): "Imagine how much nicer it would have been to read from a poetry collection while waiting in the bank, than sitting there looking at the floor. Imagine if it became common to have books of visual art and photographies in waiting rooms, rather than gossip magazines?"
