Through long-lasting processes, the artist duo Gideonsson/Londré search for a dissolved state in-between paralysation and ecstasy. Their practice involves performances, installations and interventions that consist of highly regulated everyday activities, in relation to different experiences of time. 
How changes in rhythms and time flows open up for other positions and temporary detachments from established ideas about subjectivity.
 
In their recent work, they try to trace time divisions in physical inclinations and how daily body positions influence in what way different activities are performed. Through different performative structures they seek to follow the inclined body as a guiding thread to rediscover forgotten parts of our biological past.

During their stay in Jokkmokk, Gideonsson/Londré will continue their work, focusing more on how a specific site, a landscape and a shared history can gather in the body. They want to experience different places in Jokkmokk municipality, but also meeting people that can deepen their knowledge regarding managing and passing on history.
