a room in flørli is a work (in) process happening at Outpost Førli 2024, a yearly festival organized by RIMI/IMIR Scenekunst (RISK) that takes place in Flørli, Norway.

At first there was only grass, then there began to be stones in the middle of the grass, then there were a few more stones and it became like a paved, grassy walkway, while on your left, the slope of the ground began to resemble, very vaguely, a low wall, then a wall made of crazy paving. Then there appeared something like an open-worked roof that was practically in dissociable from the vegetation that had invaded it. In actual fact, it was already too late to know whether you were indoors or out. At the end of the path, the paving stones were set edge to edge and you found yourselves in what is customarily called an entrance hall, which opened directly on to a fairly enormous room that ended in one direction………..

In our research we work with how the body, the body's movements, and our internal and external space can form a landscape, which can be bent or folded in and out in various unfoldings.
We like the idea of the "fold" as an operation. A body, a thing, a space, a time, a light, a sound that can be folded into, on and around something else. This can be seen as a population with various foldings and unfoldings that spread out in a room or in a landscape. Unfolding need not be understood simply as the opposite of folding, but rather a fold that follows another fold.
 
In this process, we imagine different relationships to space and movement. We will try to interpret and create series of potential expressions with the help of pure movements, which define differentiations in relation to how a room is read. We are interested in movements or changes that work with different levels of fixed reference points or suggestive identities. To portray relationships not based only on traditional attempts to connect through order and repetition of the same (which is already present), but relationships based also on uncertainty and differences. Folding, as a means of introducing other concepts of body, space and time into a landscape with conventionally perceived 'spatial boundaries'.
How might a fold across lines create uncertainty between boundaries, rather than defined boundaries of separation?
 
How can these uncertainties create the potential for a multiplicity of folds and unfolds; they can provide multiple readings of a place, building, room, environment or space to explore,
open up, and create new thoughts for how we connect to space and each other.
