Miniscule in the expanse



A few more of the fantastic landscaps i've seen here. They blow my mind, and i think, what can i do here. what sort of performance can a create in this scene? because, that's what i do these days, i make performances. I've been going around with my camera, snapping tourist pictures of these places, feeling so miniscule in relation to these landscapes, like i could dissappear into them. Thus some new idea spawned. Something, an action i can take in the landscape which in some way may be symbolic my awe for this environment here 68 degrees north.
I scribbled this down into my note book the other day;
I don't know how to begin to describe the illusory vastness of the landscape here. A two hour drive takes me where ever I desire on the island, yet when one stands in the middle of the mountains and fields and the ocean it transforms into an immense world. No photo could depict the sensation of distance, no words can describe this expanse. As if i could attempt to measure the terrain of the human mind, as a dilletant, neither could I approach the panorama here. I feel helplessly lost here, and invigorated at the same time!

Hopeully in the next post my exporations in Performance will lead to new questions and ideas.
