\nPernelle Maegaard use as a starting point water from the Arnakke spring at the exhibition
\nsite Silkeborg Bad, formerly a spa, where people sought healing using the water from the
\nspring. Our intention is to use water for the healing of Europe by means of documentation
\nin the form of photographs and texts to be shown in a group exhibition: \u201cEuropati \u2013 Det
\nlykkelige Europa\u201d (\u201cEuropathy \u2013 The Happy Europe\u201d) at Silkeborg Bad in October 2017.
\nThe exhibition will alternate between individual works and joint works. As part of the
\npreparatory work the whole group stayed at Det Danske Institut in Athens, inspired by
\nCarsten Nieburh\u2019s voyages and his age\u2019s ideas of The Happy Arabia, in order to shake up
\nand depict our own conceptions and prejudices about Europe \u2013 and the imagined
\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
\nusing a performative method, mainly with ourselves as actors. We have focused on
\nidentity and gender stereotypes\/gender markers, and in doing so have explored and
\nmapped man\u2019s relation with its environment. In the project, Rippling Water, we have as a
\nstarting point used an ancient Czech ritual for the opening and cleansing of wells in
\nspringtime, a ritual still used as a prayer for not bringing disease and evil upon oneself.
\nIn all times and in all cultures water has played a central role. Water is cleansing, but
\nwater can also destroy as well as create life. Water has been used as markings of
\ntransitions in life and death, for rituals, which unify the space between the sacred\/spiritual
\nand the profane\/everyday life. Water is used in order to link the two worlds as a symbolic
\nbridge, that allows for a passing between the worlds.<\/p>\n
\nproject aims at the world as an including gesture. This is to say that everybody has the
\npower to heal, we don\u2019t conceive it as a mysterious ritual, but see it as a means of
\nverbalizing and a marking of something to take care of.<\/p>\n
\nthemselves, what they want to heal. In our representation the ritual is performed this way:
\nIn order to achieve the right mood you are wearing nice clothes, you take off shoes and
\nstockings and stand barefooted on an unfolded apron. You close your eyes, focus on what
\nyou want to change, and sprinkle water in all four corners of the world. All healings are
\nbeing recorded by photos and short texts.<\/p>\n
\nhealings take a great deal of courage to perform, they can be important and big, or they
\ncan concern small private matters. Some healings go wrong, but they all end in a story.
\nYou can heal big things as well as small things, everything from the Mediterranean to a
\nmunicpal office, from an Icelandic town to a water heater.<\/p>\n
\nclaiming, that you can heal Europe just by the means of water, but we hope, that our
\nproject can give rise to discourses about, what Europe is today, and how Europe is going
\nto be in the future.<\/p>\n
\nof them are the photos of the very healings, the other 50 photos show the matching texts;
\npicture and text are equally important in this context. Eventually we imagine unifying all
\nthe material in a book.<\/p>\n
\nwith people in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Poland
\nand Greece. The project is spreading out, the interesting thing is to get other people to
\nembrace it and realize it. We may end up with healing all of Europe \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
