The work consists of photographs generated in a series of simple actions, performed in our four towns since 2012 – like this:
- One of us plans an action, performs it and photographs it and sends the photographs to the other three, along with directions how to perform it.
- We follow the directions and repeat the action in our different cities (or other places).
- We photograph the actions and the photographs are stored and on a webpage. Here you can also see the directions how to perform the work.
- Then one of the others makes up a new action and so on.
We planned to stop when we don’t want to do it anymore.
With the exhibition in HOLMGÅRD’S gALLERIA September – October 2014, we presented our final action together with earlier works.

The 7.th action has 3 steps:
1.
Choose a familiar view
– photograph it.
2.
Hold the camera in the same position, hold a blank piece of paper in front of the camera in a distance from the camera so that you still see some of the landscape around the paper.
– photograph it from the same position ads the first photograph.
3.
Hold the piece of paper in the same position, put the camera away so you can take a pen/marker pen with the free hand and trace the landscape that the paper is covering. Then put the pen away, take the camera a take a photo from the same position ads the other two photographs.
Send the three photographs to me
