Av jord är du kommen (Ashes to Ashes)

Av jord är du kommen (Ashes to Ashes) is a personal experience and meditation on how we are all part of common cycles, a reflection on the legacy we leave behind when we once in the future are part of the Earth as soil again. It is a choreographic mixed reality work for cemeteries that creates reflection and sensory experiences of how we and our mobile devices are interconnected in the Earth's material cycle. The format is site-specific public art that utilizes immersive media and mobile-based augmented reality (AR) technology as a performance format.

A pilot for the work is created during 2024. Premiere is planned for spring 2025.

We meet at the round opening with benches and the Milles sculpture, in the middle of the park. No need to sign up, just come by. The experience is about 30 minutes long. We will document the event and would love to hear your reflections and feedback.

Please prepare: 

1) Bring your fully charged mobile and headphones. 

2) On the same day, download the free app Meadow by Untold Garden from App Store or Google Play. 

3) We will be outdoors and you will walk at your own pace, choose clothes and shoes according to the weather.
