Sedimentations (2024)

Sedimentation happens through repetition and we are changed when matter settles in our bodies. On the other side of the saturation point, sedimentation occurs and it can prove difficult to soften what has already become hard. We are changed and our horizon enters a state of (over)saturation.

Sara Ahmed writes:
The repetition of work is what makes the signs of work disappear. It is important that we think not only about what is repeated but also about how the repetition of actions takes us in certain directions..”

What kind of (surely more fun) game will come from a 0-5-5 or a 8-0-2 soccer formation?

In locker room no. 3 of Skjold Contemporary sedimentation processes are investigated in relation to folded geological time and in relation to the internalized conditions that apply on and off the field. Taking off from soccer team line-ups (including more speculative ones) and hymn boards, sedimented notions and matters are mapped out, and at the same time paths are pointed out that perhaps can create ruptures within this oversaturated state (that otherwise can feel as a claustrophobic vacuum)
