Sensing Nature from Within: The Giant Clam
Reading performance by and with the artist Ingela Ihrman
7.3 2020
Malmö
The artist Ingela Ihrman will dress in her Giant Clam mantle of blue silk, acrylic paint and various kinds of plastic, step down into the foamy suds of the alcove bathtub in the partly tiled bathroom – the home’s inner ocean – and read texts on the origin of life from the self-published local newspaper Seaweedsbladet #1. Meanwhile, in the bedroom, The Flower Coral and the Anus Anemone will be on display. The video takes place on the bottom of the ocean where Ingela Ihrman encounters various marine creatures. The clips were recorded while on a field working trip on the Andaman Islands off the coast of India, in February 2016.
