"Have you ever sensed a landscape change in front you? The sand under your feet completely change colour or structure. Certain places we enter calls for a different mode of engagement. In front of me is a piece of paper. On the paper a hand have scrippled nervous lines and strokes. Some of these lines form what could be words, others look like broken tools or thoughts never materialized. When I pick up one of the broken tools, i notice how it turns into a word, letters of unknown origin grows out like vines. This little grove is a piece of landscape I try to engage with. The letters outgrows their letter-form and become abstract forms and lines. I try to pronounce the evolving words, while I am stepping into their landscape. Out of these utterings, new vapoural twings start to grow and drizzle into small waves of spit and lingual shadows on the ground."
Variables of Uncertainty originates from Claus Haxholm's exhibition Af Natmørkt Hav (Of Nightdark Ocean), a video and sound installation presented earlier this year at Ebeltoft Kunsthal. The exhibiton was a reflection on- and a personal processing of the landscape near the coastal lines of eastern Jutland in Denmark. A transformative environment of water, soil and sand.
