Point of Contact – Hungary

Took place at the Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum Esztergomi Vármúzeum Rondella Galéria, the dansk Folke kunst Transfere exhibition spring 2016.

 

Simone Aaberg Kærns work “Point of Contact”  have 4 elements:

1) High quality 4K video installation filmed with full movie crew, 12 horses and 12

mounted archers.

 

2) A decorative presentation of hand build bows and 100 arrows.

 

3) An performative action where bows and the one hundred arrows are taken from the

walls by visitors and a mixed group of invited participants.

A mixed group of participants are invited to shoot bow and arrow – two people to one bow. Now the visitors are them selves shooting the hundred arrows, with a little white paint on the arrows they createtogether stars on a dark blue sky.

 

4) In the end of the action participants, help to take the blue wall into the gallery and

mount the star filled blue sky, next to the video projection.

After the shooting, the wall is taken down and carried inside the gallery. Then it is mounted, in the videoinstallation, where the bows and arrows where installed in the beginning.
