pineapple, by numbers

2025. Performance at Galleri Kronborg, Rundemannen, Bergen as part of 'Poetic Silence'

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.
