Veiviseren: In the Dark, All Cats Are Gray

Veiviseren: In the Dark, All Cats Are Gray is a project proposed to take place in Stavanger, Norway, in 2008.

Developing the idea of a touristic “fact finding” journey, the project employs a mobile research kit, a kind of heterotopic Duchampian Boîte-en-valise, sallying out from a temporary in-situ base-camp for a co-ordinated and collaborative series of performative “mappings” sited, developed and executed along the route.
Initial ideas include: a migrating construction site, perpetually being erected and dismantled; a participatory photo wall; a series of structured dispersals of tiny foodstuffs; a logistical performative sculpture, shifting a live mummified body from one end of the route to the other.
Our aim is to develop a rigorous and challenging package of “experiments” designed to tease out the social, aesthetic, and conceptual textures of the route.
