ABOUT THE WORK

The Marathon Project consists of 12 marathon-performances challenging our understanding of the common and asking the simple question: What are we running from?

The act of running a marathon is used as an artistic method to create presence and the common understanding of marathon as something demanding is used as a reflection on different matters depending on setting.

The marathons takes its starting point in the repetitive movement - often taking place around significant buildings or small enclosed spaces where the distance of a marathon are reached: 42,195 km. During the run the facade/walls are traced with charcoal turning the space into a messy, energetic outburst.
