RESPITE [2013]

RESPITE is a small interactive installation about Time which was exhibited in the lobby of GODSBANEN during SPOT Festival 2013.

RESPITE shows a flickering reflection of people passing by and poet Hanne Viemose intercept fragments of words in the crowd.

The text is projected with the image and presents a series of moments that disappear while they occur.
 
Sorry.

Am I interrupting?
Respite is an expression used in organizing ship race – a part of a game

Would you like more time? Would you like to have respite?


In English respite: a relief from harm or discomfort, a break from doing something

In Danish: An additional time to achieve something.

Should you achieve something?

(Text Piece by Hanne Viemose)
