Norway has traditionally been considered a country of victorious romanticism. Norwegian art and literature are permeated with romantic spirit. But what is romanticism for Norway today? We decided to take a few famous books of classical Norwegian writers and relocate their stories in the current context of public library. We want to create inside of library kind of ÂŤhidden kingdomÂť of romantic stories from the classical Norwegian literature. We will create several installations inside of library dedicated to one episode
Animated books from one book. Number will depend on possibilities of library. Installation will be from cheap, safe, and lightweight materials - cardboard, paper and other. We will create a special map that we will hang on the wall in the corridor on the first floor near cafe - and will make a catalog/zin with installations, texts and map and so on. Installations will be made before opening day and should stay some days, 1-3. In the day of opening we will make a performancetravelling with music from one installation to another, where we will be both guides and actors. And we want that installations afterwards will stay still for awhile.
