Sebastian Moske works with literature, that he cuts up to open and suggestive text tapestries read out by performers. These texts become part of a rhythmical video filmed on locations that are in interesting tension to the texts accumulated. He will read The Poetic Edda, different Swedish Crime Novels and is very interested in “Kallocain” by Karin Boye.

Since the Northern Myth has always been (mis)used by right-wing ideologies, Sebastian is very interested to dive into this text and wants to investigate literature dealing with tension and detecting. With the goal of coming up with a video or two at the end of the residency.
