when we were where that is (Tuesday) continues the installation when we were where that is (Monday). The recorded conversation carries on, extended through GPT-3, while the video revisits the ascent toward Monte Solaro on Capri from altered frames. In Konstfack’s preserved factory stairwell, two red carpets mark a space for fiction and spectatorship. The stairwell, once part of LM Ericsson’s factory, holds traces of memory and time; like the subtitles, it searches to preserve recollection. A lamp switching on and off evokes fleeting moments of clarity amid uncertainty.
On the steps, a Cordyline australis “Pink Passion” connects film and installation, its altered color recalling memory’s power to reshape reality. A fan diffuses a scent (A’mmare by Carthusia), animating the space with an artificial reconstruction of place.
