Springing out from the built-in significance of this very place, the installation The Games We Play by Naja Lee Jensen refers to expectations to football as well as art. The production approaches topics such as "the individual vs. the masses", war and masculine cultures.
Stadium lights and music are put on max at the time when the audience is still waiting outside. The building vibrates as if the game is on. As people get in and walks towards the field, cheering increases, and when the innermost of the stadium is revealed, it is clear that something entirely different than expected is going on. Slowly the football songs are dissolved into a hard landscape of sound, eventually ending in a metallic pulse. When the pulse stops, the stadium is bathed in silence. The audience can leave at will. The performance is over.
