När inlandsisen dragit sig tillbaka från Sverige vandrade granen in ifrån norr, 2015

performance with fir cone costume (paper, glue, textile, wire, acrylic paint)

A fir cone walks from north to south, allowing seeds made of thin brown paper fall to the ground along its way.

Popular scientific literature talks about how the Norweigan sprouce came wandering from the north when the ice sheet withdrew from the Nordic countries around 12 000 years ago at the end of the last glacial period. The spruce came walking at a certain speed, infinitely slow, but still.
