LOCH FUSKA

Each of these images could be a frame of a film, a moment in a story that has still to be told. Karin invites you to tell the story, according to your own inspiration and ideas. It doesn't have to be long, a story can be told in a few words (or even one word...).
If  one or more of the images gives you any idea, could you write it down and email it to Karin (mail@karinandersen.com)? Your micro story will be printed on flyers and published on this website later on.

Karin's LOCH FUSKA project is a part of PS2, a web-based exhibition of site-specific artworks and an environmental sculpture workshop/seminar curated by Juha Van Ingen and Kuten association. 11 artists have been invited to make proposals for site-specific artworks based on the documentation of places near the Skansen Gudmunsson House in Skåne, Sweden. All projects, displayed on the PS2 website (www.kuten.net/ps2), will be presented to the public on the 7th of July 2007 directly on the PS2locations.

Karin's location is a small lake in the forest. During the presentation of her project the flyers with her images and all incoming texts will be distributed to the audience. After a public reading of the texts one set of flyers will be locked into a bottle and thrown into the lake.

Water has always inspired a lot of ideas, far beyond its basic physical and chemical properties: Stanislaw Lem's science fiction novel Solaris features an extraterrestial ocean with telepathic faculties and a life of its own. The water of Scotland's Loch Ness is supposed to contain a monster. In homeopathy, water memory is a concept which holds that water is capable of retaining a "memory" of particles once dissolved in it. 
Karin doesn't want to claim any of those ideas to be or to come true, but she strongly suggest that the little lake in Skåne does have a memory. At least regarding some stories: on the bottom, inside a bottle.
