Jacob Kirkegaard: Testimonium Live
Sentralen/Hvelvet
13/9, 17.00
Free entry (Part of Oslo kulturnatt)
Danish sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard presents an four-channel live sound work based on his breathtaking Testimonium installation. This thirty-minute performance fuses field recordings of sounds and the ambience of the Dandora Dump Site in Nairobi, with noises from recycling plants in Denmark and Latvia. Via vibration sensors inside piles of trash and huge incinerators, underwater microphones in polluted rivers and sewage basins, and mics picking up windswept soundscapes of burning plastic, and hand-sorted streams of glass, tin and plastic, Kirkegaard builds a vivid testimony, looking back at our planet from an imaginary future.
Kirkegaard’s video installation runs throughout the festival and this one off performance will deepen the appreciation of his massive and urgent project.
In collaboration with Oslo europeisk miljøhovedstad 2019.
