2021 Doktortjønna, Røros Museum

Exhibition "SPOR/TRACKS" at Doktortjønna June 19 from -8th August,2021.

Tracks is an outdoor installation transmitting sounds from the underground. The composition is built on a field trips and research and recordings of reindeers communication and in particular a certain "clicking" sound they make with their hinter legs.

The audience can find 16 different tracks placed in the soil in a circle. By searching for sound vibrations and concentrated listening the audience can hear the quiet composition moving around on the surface of the grass field. The whole installation is powered by a wind mill and solar panels.

The opening was quiet due to covid-19. During the summer it opened up and the exhibition went well and had a lot of visitors.

The research took place at Gråebrien Sijti in Brekken and was realized thanks to Inge Even Danielsen, who opened the gate to the reindeers for me.

Thanks go to: Gråebrien Sijti and Røros Museene.
