Residence week 25 – 26 / 2024

We welcome Sanghoon Lee to residency at DansiT / Svartlamon! He is in Trondheim with his project Sometimes directives may not work as planned. The project aims to emphasize the inherent uncertainties and complexities of our lives by providing a space to reflect on the unexpected, on misunderstandings. The central theme of this project is human fragility. For example, how easily we can slip into our own understanding when communicating with others, and how much uncertainty we have while always planning for safety. Instead of following the traditional narrative where miscommunication leads to conflict and is ultimately resolved by finding understanding and coherence, Sanghoon seeks to create a new narrative that provides a different perspective.

There will be an open studio showing on Thursday 27th of June at 10:00 at DansiT / Svartlamon. Please let producer Betty know by email: betty@dansit.no or phone: 92435225 if you are coming.
