The thin paper of the book, recalls the delicacy of the organic materials which the museum tries to protect from the infestations which would, given the opportunity, devour them
Throughout summer and Autumn 2020, I continued to work on The Wrong Bodies an artist's book, based on my work at the museum. This book to be dispayed at the Bergen Natural History Museum. Working back and forth between the book and the final spoken-word performance helped to develop my writing about my discoveries at the museum.
This project was also another exercise and another adventure in "site writing", exploring for example how to translate audio material, such as the section in the book titled The Falling Birds, which is based on recorded interview material, into text for the page; for a reader's experience.
