Anarchiving Rávdnji – a live audiovisual performance following forward traces from Rávdnjevággi / Finnheia on Sállir / Kvaløya.

Artists and collaborators of the Rávdnji exhibition Andreas Kühne and Polina Medvedeva improvise with the audiovisual material they gathered for the Rávdnji exhibition and invite Risten Anine Kvernmo Gaup to add new traces in response. The performance evokes holistic listening perspectives and reciprocal transformations through interaction. What do we experience when we move in between the Sámi sidda and peatlands of Rávdnjevággi today? As we are listening with our whole body, a landscape is transforming in front of us, entangling the past, present and future and oscillating between histories and futures, memories and the subconscious.

For Thinking with Peatlands: Reverberations the three are sharing an installation version of Anarchiving Rávdnji where the live recording of their performance is looped, while the video archive is continuously randomised. In these endless reconfigurations, again, new traces might be found and relations made carefully.
