Youth Singing in a Bunker, 2025

Three wood panels, three Brightsign players, five speakers and one subwoofer

In this three-channel video installation, a band plays an original song inside a bunker. It’s slow and melancholic. On both sides of the band are people watching them. They stand, while some sit on the ground, and others lean against the grey rock walls. They listen to the song as the repetitive drum rhythm and melodic trumpet soars through the space. Towards the end of the song they start to sing along to the chorus line: ”luckily, time passes and things change, but sadly, time passes and things change.” Rooted from angst, the work concerns the fear, yet hopefulness of times changing. It aims to draw light to the significance of togetherness, as us is all we have, now and then.
