Presenteras på Orionteatern
16-19 November
I dagsläget består Kiss and Waste av 12 videos/essäer/porträtt. Anne Lise Stenseth har bett kvinnor från hamnstäder att skriva brev till henne som om hon vore deras mor, syster eller vän. Varje brev läses, återberättas och tolkas på olika sätt för kameran och blandas med dokumentära bilder. Berättelserna löper mellan det personliga och det politiska och vi möter frågor om migration, identitet och reflektioner över dagens föränderliga Europa.
“The Kiss And Waste Project is a hugely impressive achievement: subtle, diverse and complex in its portrayal of women’s many and varied experiences.”

”Through the process of working with local women and by using a combination of interpretation and representation, fictional and documentary material I try to encounter and reflect upon different aspects of personal, social and public states of being. “The inner and outer space” so to say.”

“The Kiss and Waste Project” is a flexible, growing, changing, site-specific audio/video installation developed in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and United Kingdom.
Presented at Orionteatern
16-19 November
To date the project consists of 13 video essays/portraits made in Black Sea and North Sea countries like Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Sweden, Norway and England. Stenseth has asked women from each country to write letters to her and imagine that they are the artist’s mother, sister, girlfriend or relative. Stenseth is then using the texts as a manuscript for each video. The letters are read, rehearsed, and interpreted in different ways for the camera, and this is mixed with documentary material.
The diverse content of the videos vary from the personal to the political and the main leitmotifs are identity and migration. Reflections and questions about personal struggle, political transition and changes in contemporary Europe.
