in here it is yesterday, 2013

participatory performance, XL Art Space, Helsinki, Finland

The audience entered the room one by one. I sat in the dark space and asked the audience member to select a song that reminded them of falling in love. I then selected a song that reminded me of a heartbreak (or vice versa). We listened to the songs simultaneously with two pairs of headphones, so that in one ear a love song was playing, and in the other, a breakup song. We shared the songs and memories evoked by them.
