They are the Ones who Make us is a sound piece based on three short stories written by the artist during the Skaftfell residency.
ÂIt was said that on one morning, so early that the waves were still and the water looked like milk there floated towards the shore of a town, quietly, a rowing boat. It floated to the shore and stopped to black sand. On the boat there sat a huge pig with coarse, peach-colored hair and it was tattooed all over. Â
