Three women, in three rooms, facing three similar conflicts, open up the façade and allow us to observe them in a moment of chaos. intimate, personal moments are magnified to a large scale and displayed publicly; in this intersection of the intimate and the exposed Ingrid Liavaag and Ingri Enger Damon seek to grant women space, power, courage, and beauty through this performative hybrid work. The work explores repetitive human behavior, focusing intently on slow, everyday actions.
In the film, we follow three women through their daily routines, witnessing how the possibility of change gradually slips away. The three women represent different facets of how—in line with stereotypical expectations—women can lose their sense of control over their own lives, trapped in patterns they struggle to recognize in both themselves and their surroundings. These patterns are shaped by societal norms and family structures.
Tøyen - Kvinnehelsehuset - October 2nd
There will be an outdoor screening at the Kvinnehelsehuset façade at Tøyen, accompanied by a live performance. During the screening, the façade is activated through a parallel performance that expands the film’s universe. We allow the location to interact with sound, film, and performative actions carried out by extras moving in and around the building; their everyday actions coexist with the events unfolding in the film.
