Crossing the lake

Finland, 2022
Performance

Simone playfully searches for ways to hush the mind, silently recording the passing of time.
In Crossing the Lake she walks back and forth across a huge frozen lake covered by snow, leaving a matrix of footprints until the surface is evenly covered by a 15-hour imprint of time itself, attuned to the artist’s own pace.

              

An endless white landscape
completely unwritten

With each step
notion of time seemed to evaporate
and snow absorbed all sound
