Through this unique installation, geographical and cultural contradictions are interwoven into a place without defined borders.

Selected for the Festival's Open Call, guided by mentor Eirún Sigurðardóttir, Hisse's work promises an innovative approach to understanding our physical and metaphorical boundaries. Join a journey that transcends the known.

Landmarks transform the venue Støperiet into a comprehensive installation, where sculptures reflecting barriers, walls, towers, and other forms often found in border areas, including immigration checkpoints and military facilities.

Four dancers perform in this border landscape, where they appear and disappear, blending with the sculptures and transforming them into bridges, blockades, and refuges. The performance guides the audience through a series of twisted images inspired by military exercises, displays of authority, police control, rebellion, resistance, and collective action. "Landmarks" emerges as a provocative reflection on the power of language, territorial struggles, and belonging.

The visual collaboration with Sarah Key adds an extra dimension to the sculptures, with elements of graphic design inspired by pixação - a specific style of tagging from Brazil, bearing striking similarities to runes and Old Norse. This interplay between modern expressions and ancient symbols further highlights the exhibition's themes around communication, boundaries, and identity.

"Landmarks" invites reflection and dialogue about the physical and metaphorical barriers that shape our world, exploring how art can illuminate and influence societal structures and the individual's place within them.
