A series of Water colours done during a 4 month stay in Berlin for the Bjørnson Festival of Litterature "Grenser" Molde 2003
The theme for the festival which is the largest Annual Festival of Litterature in Norway was "Borders"
Author Bjarte Breiteig selected some fine texts to go with some of the pieces.
Man Falling into Pool of Love to Drown.
"Jeg kjente hvordan det dirret under meg, og jeg ble plutselig redd, ikke for å miste fotfestet og skli nedover, men for at jeg selv skulle kaste meg utfor." Breiteig "I felt the ground vibrating beneath me,
and I was suddenly afraid,
not of loosing my foothold
and sliding down,
but afraid that I might throw myself off."

Condition
"På alle kanter har han syngende kvinner og menn, men selv synger han ikke; han er den eneste uten stemme." Breiteig "Surrounded on all sides
by singeng men and women,
he himself doesn´t sing; he is the only one without a voice."

Flight plan
"Jeg hadde fått en merkelig følese av at hele meg ble sugd opp i hodet, både kroppen og tankene - alt." Breiteig "I had a strange sensation
that the whole of me was sucked up into my head,
my body and thoughts - everything."

Soft touch
"Hun forandre seg ustanselig, slik en person man leser om i en bok forandre seg fra side til side. Iblandt er hun blond og spøkefull, og har lyseblått, muntert blikk. Så blir hun mørkhåret og still, og øynene nesten svarte." Breiteig
" She changes continuously, like a person descrbed in a book changes page to page. Sometimes she is blond and jovial, having a light blue, cheerful gaze. Then she is dark haired and silent, with eyes nearly black."
