The artwork was first performed as a series of outdoor sessions with breathing, voice and choir exercises in dialogue with the environment and the wild animals of the forests at Järvafältet, Stockholm, Sweden, 2017.
The informal choir practice is rooted in workshop and communion centered on the ontologic, and immanently transcending qualities of the voice as the sonorous intra-personal and ultimately trans-specieal instrument central to both subject formation and the reality of truly polymorf perversions within shamanic becomings. The choir center on a pragmatic pre-lingual minimalistic eclecticism, utilizing self imploding methods of the fable, biopolitical agitation, daoist martial art qi gong, dance training. In 3 of the 4 inagurations so far, the workings has utilised the norse native tradition of Sapmi Joik - the traditional oral technique of musicality practiced by the Sapmi people. Existential and decolonial complexities surfacing through these working are harnessed for the participants as integral part of the artwork, the biosphere, and art critics alike, to make best possible use of.
The choir was created for the group exhibition ‘Within the Scope of Activity‘ at Husby Konsthall in 2017. Musical scores and somatic protocols has to various degrees been developed and worked out in collaboration with with Sapmi Noid/Shaman and musician extraordinary - Laara Stinnerbom, and also in the latest edition at 2019, the choir was further backed up by musician Daniel Cabral De Queiroz.
