Text from Sten i glass* (Stone in glass):
"Sakte ruller stjernestøvet
i horisontene
i vill fart
i et fotefar av lys.
Hold meg i hånden
kyss meg sakte
jeg er
stjerneskuddet –
fnugget i uendeligheten"
As translated for the sake of this Sceneweb entry by Lillian Bikset:
"Slowly stardust rolls
in the horizons
at a wild pace
in a footprint of light.
Hold my hand
kiss me slowly
I am
the shooting star –
the speck in eternity"

Geir Vestad, Hamar Arbeiderblad:
"Giving the first artistic interpretation of such a diverse building as Hamardomen is no small challenge. For this is a building in which the mood changes with the clouds, and where the interaction between inner and outer room keeps changing. Just this openness and this diversity are maintained - and highlighted - by Bjørn Sverre Kristensen and Svein Gundersen's rich in ambience, masterly pure and simple opening work Sten i glass* (Stone in glass). This was an important part of Sunday's opening ceremony."
