Text by Jenny Hval:

The piece begins with flickering light. Kristine Tjøgersen’s Travelling Light II might take place inside a camera lens, continuously alternating its setting allowing shifting amounts of light enter the aperture. Still, I don’t think of light when I listen. Instead, I imagine one of the animated short films of Jan Svankmajer, where real human bodies turn into humanlike collages of scrap metal, vegetables, or plasticine. It’s beautiful and visceral. I flicker back and forth between my real and imagined body, living and dead tissue.

Travelling Light is shaped by a film of traffic headlights passing through dark tunnels, taking cues from the rhythms and colours of the endlessly moving lights.
