Micro-phenomenology Interviews at the Exhibition “Knots of Ecphore”

written by Katrin Heimann

Over the past two years, Katrin Heimann (AAU) collaborated with artist Helene Nymann, accompanying her artistic process towards the exhibition “Knots of Ecphore” via micro-phenomenological interviews. 
In the exhibition that runs until the 23rd of October at Overgaden in Copenhagen, Helene, who is working on the topic of memory and its overlab with imagination, is offering the visitors small wax strings with the following invitation: “What do you want to remember? Choose a string and tie a knot. Place it in one of the glass sculptures.” As part of the exhibition, Katrin and Helene are running interviews with visitors about the experience of participating in this work. If you happen to be in Copenhagen and want to be interviewed, write to overgaden@overgaden.org and sign up!
