Oh my God, 2004
Performance


Three girls sit by a fire in a winter landscape in a window on Reykjavik´s main street. From loudspeakers, we hear the wind howling. The girls sit shaking an scared by the fire. A horrible creature appears, threatens the girls, they scream and the lights go out. Ten seconds the lights are back on an the same scene starts again; the girls sit by the fire, the creature appears etc. This live loop goes on for about an hour and the scene is repeated about 100 times.
