Empetrum nigrum

Empetrum nigrum is a 4 channel sound installation that was part of a groupshow called Invasive Exotics at RAM Gallery (Oslo) in May 2015. Kristin Tårnes and myself curated and organized the show.

The sounds are field recordings from reindeers walking on snow in the mountains outside Tromsø, with a mix of them running inside a round fence, when they beeing marked or slaughtered. The sound moved around the room from speaker to speaker inside the gallery space. The piece was kindly supported by The Sami Art council.
