Blue Plan: A reminder of the oldest creatures on earth
Blue Plan: A Reminder of the Earth's Oldest Creatures (2021) Performance presented at the Plan - B Art Festival in Borgarnes Participants: Guðrún Vera Hjartardóttir, Ásta Kristjánsdóttir, Logi Garpur Másbur, Finnur Kaldi, Sigrún Valgeirsdóttir, Eyrún Úa Þorbjörnsdóttir, and Benedikt Ingi Ingólfsson.
If art is the sister of freedom, then art and freedom spring from the same root. Humanity reaches its truest state through play, for it is within play that myth, fantasy, and poetry are born. The ultimate goal of this performance is to seek out that inherent freedom.
Blue Plan is a visual, movement-based choral work where participants align their presence to move as a singular collective as one creature. Shrouded in blue hues and primordial forms, the group inhabits the landscape as a living invocation. The piece is an attempt to engage in a cosmic, sonic, and physical dialogue with Mother Earth, recapturing a lost rhythm in the cooperation between human and planet. These photographs trace their journey from the shoreline to the rocky heights and into the water, capturing the moments where the boundary between the body and the landscape dissolves.
