Performance at Galleri Kronborg, kindly hosted by Oda Tungodden and Lorie Ballage, Rundemannen, Bergen

As part of 'Poetic Silence', an artistic encounter between Norway and South Korea, initiated by Kyuja Bae in 2024 in Gokseong (KR,) continuing in Bergen (N) in 2025

This pineapple has travelled some 9100km from Costa Rica to Norway. I carry it some 560m uphill from the city to the mountain top. Pineapple takes about a year to grow, or even more than 365 days, yet this one isn't quite ripe. Thus, I also carry a tin of pineapple, containing 565g of which are 60% pineapple, which we share at Galleri Kronborg. The whole pineapple gets placed on top of the ruin of Galleri Kronborg, as a welcoming symbol of hospitality. The cut-out drawing of a pineapple and the empty tin get placed inside the ruin as part of the group show 'Blind Date in Seoul'.

Afterwards, I carry the pineapple down the hill again, and I wait for about 4 days for it to ripen. We eat the pineapple during our last shared dinner to mark the end of our week-long project.
