EIDSVOLL exists simultaneously as an act of preservation and a poetic meditation on time, nostalgia, and longing that rethinks linear narrative of experience. Chapter one of this hybrid work was constituted by diverse experimental engagements with a former family house and surrounding property in Oxfordshire.
The line between documentary and fiction is blurred in an indistinguishable blend of oral history, imperfect memory, and performance. The project’s methodological process, form and spirit serve the cultivation of an experience and expression of enchantment: to be transfixed or transported, arrested in childlike wonder.
