s o r r y m u m homo ludens - play and create

Collage & photos: K.Udland

This collage is a result of a particular person not wanting to work - just play. She being all homo ludens - a playing woman - today.

The issue when not keeping focus on workrelated activities - during the hours of the day you are supposed to, is to make sure you enjoy yourself. Because God knows - and you all know - guiltypleasure is hard to deal with.

Then again, I believe we actually do not play enough on a daily basis. We should spend time playing every day, and sometimes all day. Have fun. Play with whatever gives you joy and pleasure. Know what happened to me after todays playday? I awoke my creativity. And work became play.

Go! Play! Create!

s o r r y m u m meets the people - Piri from Aitu, Cook Islands - the bread changed everything

Piri on Rarotonga. "You can only appreciate so many mountains and beautiful lakes, sunsets and turquoise lagoons - then you have to meet the people ", a friend once said. And he was right. When travelling over time, as I did a year, your surroundings start to not give any meaning. You stop seeing and appreciating nature. Nature fatigue . Very interesting phenomena that can even make you sad and depressed. Pointing out the reason helped. I knew I had to meet the people, so I changed my focus. On Rarotonga, an island in the Cook Islands, I met Piri. In 2002. First at his coconut-tree-climbing show where we als where taught how to make a fire with sticks and to cook with hot stones in the ground. We all had to work together and it gave meaning. It took us half a day to cook the meal. Piri making a fire. The stones were heated by the fire we made. Piri worked hard with dry moss and two sticks and we all gave shelter from the wind so he could nurture the fire. Piri work...

s o r r y m u m på 60-tallet - melkespann, komper og laksedød - hva gjorde mormor?

1963 En vakker sommerdag på 60-tallet. Ikke alle kvinner stod på barrikadene og ikke hele tiden. Skulle vel ikke slutte å være kvinne? Skulle det ikke bare være greit å strikke ? Greit å melke ? Greit å slumre i sola i fluktstolen? I hagen med bena i nesten nyklippet gress. Grave tærne ned i gresset og kjenne kjøligheten fra svart muld. Snu seg og titte rundt stolryggen for å se hvem som kjører lastebil forbi. Kanskje er det storebror? Støver litt fra grusveien som er sommertørr, men det gjør ikke noe for det er sikkert to timer til neste bil kjører forbi. Lure på når bonden Isak inne i garden skal komme og hente de tomme melkespannene . Kanskje onkel rir forbi på hesten som ingen forstod hvorfor han kjøpte, men kanskje han bare elsket hester, Onkel Kåre. Kanskje er det tidlig ettermiddag og knaskje har de hvite syrinene nettopp avblomstret. De skal melke snart, skal de ikke? Kanskje de har ekstra melkespann i fjøset . Kanskje de bytter de tomme med med fulle spann av varm ...
