“Death is too big and overwhelming for me to relate to. And even life, which is the only thing I can relate to, is sometimes too intense and overwhelming. Death as the backdrop for life is a prerequisite for life-expansion. Dødsprosjektet (The Death Project) had its humble inception almost eight years ago, when I gave birth to my first child. The extreme intensity that I experienced when I gave birth was so overwhelming that I was sure I was going to die. I could not survive something so intense. But I did, and this experience evoked processes in me that have shaped both my life and my artistic practice.”
