ROTATED BUT DEAD GREEN

YEAR: 1996.

SOLO EXHIBITION: Max Mundus, Copenhagen, Denmark.

MATERIALS: Quilts, textile, apple juice in basin with circulation pump, plastic container, dialogue text, and green plastic foil.

The installation is a labyrinth. The walls of the maze are sewn from white quilts. In the middle of the maze a white plastic basin has been filled to the brim with artificially produced apple juice. The juice is green and smells of apples. The smell spreads throughout the room as the circulation pump moves the juice. By a wall, a camping table holds a pile of A2 papers with dialogue text, wrapped in green plastic foil and sewn together at the ends.

The text consists of a dialogue between Anja Franke and Kaj Aage Drafenharden. The dialogue describes a labyrinthine course
through a house in which Kaj Aage Drafenharden gets lost and
meets Anja Franke. She has made poisonous juice, which he drinks. The drink refers to the green juice incorporated in the physical maze in the exhibition room. The exhibit is about getting lost, not only in relations between the sexes but also in relations to one’s own gender and identity. The text is an interaction between male and female or between the observer and the work.
