The Dunke-dunk project at Sørøya (Finnmark)

Abstract

The uploaded elements document a learning theatre in the KHIO library space, at the occasion of ARW24 (artistic research week 2024). The session took place 11:15-13:00 hours. It was organised as an event, with performance and installation aspects combined. It was followed by an artist talk.

The content was devoted to an artistic research projecect on the Kvithellehula cave by Hasvik, Lopphavet, Sørøya, Finnmark: a site-survey of the cave as a memorial public space, dedicated to the memory of the 35 people who lived in hiding there from October 1944 to May 1945, during the Nazi air-raids, and the scorched earth policy of the 3rd Reich. The work is dedicated to the time of waiting, in a site specific study of that way of being.

Then, after a break, the visitors were invited to take their place in an amphitheatre seating and were introduced to the exposition [re] mapping of being, from the Dunke-dunk project’s fieldwork at Sørøya, that was published in VIS (Nordic Journal of Artistic Research): an issue dedicated to public space and memory. Theodor Barth followed suit by a cartographic survey of the exposition, which is in part a field-record in part a stage-book.

The visitors were invited to partake of the work in several adjacent layers: these were disposed alongside in both space and time. The documentation is organised in the following way:
