A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE

MAY 22 -Annen Etage, Oslo

A Woman Under the Influence

“The low wall that encloses a field or an orchard cannot prevent one’s entering it: it forbids one to enter.”
Saint Genet, Jean Paul Sartre (1963)

We are sorrounded by utensils which have been manufactured by and for any man.
The industrial products that make up the urban landscape are the social will bottled
and canned; they speak to us of our integration in society; men address us through the
silence of these products; they are injunctions, recommendations, sometimes
questionings or explainations; a new tool is the reverse of a new gesture. The gesture
is described in a leaflet of instructions that we are given with the tool; when
we perform it for the first time, we are engaging in a ceremony: the just man who uses
a new corkscrew or the latest type of can opener plunges into the fine heart
of society, perceives, through the object, the manufacturer, the merchant, the jurist,
who advise, suggest, command delightfully. It is out of love of man that man buy
gadgets, for the pleasure of hearing the seremonizing voice of the specialist ring out
in the solitude of their apartments, of their lives; tools veil from us our forlornness.

Tools have nothing to command or forbid the disintegrated, vagabond element,
the wandering individual who is Ida Ekblad.

DEAR SOCIETY

YOU´VE HAD TOO MUCH INFLUENCE ON MY LIFE

GOODBYE
