HOUSING SPIRITS samarbejde med videokunstner Michelle EISTRUP
Housing Spirits HS var et kunstneriskt samarbejde mellem billedkunstnere Michelle Eistrup og Marika Seidler fra år 98 - 00 med videoproduktioner i Benin Vest Afrika.
Cocoon var et samarbjede mellem lydkunstner Jannick Kirk Sørensen og HS udstillet på Palace Hotel i København. The video “Every flight is different” was screened in the hotel bar followed by a performance in hotel room 111.The Cocoon project addressed the complexities aligned with transiting between countries and cultures. In the Hotel Bar Cocoon hostesses introduced the hotelʼs guests to the video film and booked the guests for performance in room 111. The video was based on a stewardessʼ experience of travel being in constant motion between destinations. Her loss and gain of memory, relations and perception. After the video, a hostess guided the guest up to room 111. The light was dimmed, a vague sound of an airplane, on the beds the artists where covered in earth except for the eyes.
