Solo performance

In Passage Nord's catalogue the following is written about Solo Performance:

"A number of short solo performances created for galleries and art museums. Most of them last from one to four minutes and are announced with titles.

"The New Colortheory", yellow, red and blue circles and cubes are layed out in a pattern on a table, then comes a break, a green pig, which tries to jump through a yellow ring but fails.

"The Scream", a photograph of a frozen shriek, an open mouth, is set out on a rack and the performer holds his hands over his ears.

"Twindance", wearing a white mask with a double face, the performer dances to Arabian music, carrying double, i.e. two objects which are the same, all "ready-mades".

"Top Ten Hits", postcards with titles of top-ten hits are handed out to the audience, while the titles are directed at each one like a declaration of love, for example, "Let's spend the night together", "I want to hold your hand", "Don't leave me this way".

The performance is shown as a part of a programme with two other visual artists, Hilmar Fredriksen and Kurt Johannessen."
