Midsommar Ritual
On Midsummer's Eve, young women traditionally had to quietly pick seven different wildflowers and place them under their pillow before going to bed. According to folk belief, they would then dream of their future spouse.
>>Can we adjust some parts and reconsider the concepts of age, gender and love?
My first Midsummer ritual took place on Arholma. While we were walking, AV told us about the ritual. I thought, 'Nothing for me; I'm not interested in marriage or love...' At that moment, somebody started collecting flowers, and we started chatting about who was planning to do the same. But then one of us mentioned the need for silence. Girls need to be silent, right? And young. ....
Anne Arndt considers herself an artist, an architecture and urban researcher, as well as a future archaeologist.
Her practice generally revolves around human-modified landscapes, identity, memory, and trauma. Arndt uses Walking as a research method and as an artistic practice. Currently, she works on time travel walks and reinventing folk rituals, searching for architectural witnesses and
material kniship.
I fell in love with the rocks popping up out of the landscape at first sight. Whether in small shapes in the middle of the grass or in higher forms in the forest, covered with soft moss and flowers and growing little trees in the cracks. Or facing the horizon at the coastline, or in the middle of the water, as tiny, shimmering islands breaking the waves. They all tell a story of a different time; it could be from the distant past, but also from the future, when they are the only remnants that survived.
