Moving forward through the myth of progress

2022

A video performance created for Hamraborg Festival, an art festival situated in and around a transit station. The video was presented on a screen on the hood of the same pickup truck as was in the video. As an opening performance the artist recited a text or a series of "calls", inspired by her gym trainers, whilst running on the treadmill.

The text:

LET'S GO! X2

PUSH! PUSH!

ARE WE THERE YET!

MOVING FORWARD

WE PROGRESS

IMPROVE YOUR DEVELOPMENT

DEVELOP YOUR IMPROVMENT

BOUND BY OUR BIOLOGY

WE'RE GONNA FEEL IT TOMORROW

INCREASE GROWTH

INCREASE!

GROW!

GO!
