The Care of the Self Finally Edit

In this hybrid installation Knut Åsdam combines one of his narrative architectural installations with an incorporated film screening of one of his films (Finally). A slightly surreal night time park is created with a dark light filter on the windows to the street. The dark lush interior of this space is an architecture of trees, plants, grass and flowers, with only minimal warm light. Here, Åsdam picks up the nighttime park of the city and its temporary relationship to the economies of the city – those of desire, politics and the everyday. The temporary spaces for teenage hangouts, drug trafficking, sexual cruising – zones that as much as they represent a temporary space of release, are also part of the very mythology and narrative of the city.
