The Poopshere lights up Tjook and a Norwegian forest – 2014
THE POOP PROJECT
As I live in a Norwegian forest, moosedroppings has been a regular treat on the many walks in the woods nearby. I noticed they have a distinctive form and that they were without smell and purely consist of clean vegetable fibers: no bugs inside, just a great material. I liked these small gifts from this majestic forest creature and decided to return the gift by initiating THE POOP PROJECT.

1: THE POOP SHERE
‘THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE’
The POOP SHERE is a spherical lamp which is made from thousands of carefully selected moose droppings. From a distance it appears to be some kind of designer object and few people will guess the origins and producer of the material. It is a fun project that refers to both alchemic models for art production in with excrements are turned in a thing og beauty. But also themes like nature, fertility, recycling, cultural identity and the fact that almost none of the droppings are exactly the same contributes to the many expressive qualities of the POOP SPHERE.

2: THE POOP SHIRT
The POOP SHIRT is the second fase of the ongoing Poop Prosjekt with the same leading motive: “THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE”. A shirt made of moose droppings will be demonstrated by a female model in a sexy fashion. The model will be dancing i a seductive way and this will be filmed in a high resolution video. The video is thought to be shown in slow motion on a CLEARCHANNEL advertising screen, just like the ones you can find in many major cities in northern Europe.
