The masks have been with us for three weeks here in Berlin, and tomorrow we will part with them. They will continue their journey to other Nordic artists, and we will travel to Vienna. The project “Tales from a mask” started our visit here in Berlin with a photo-shoot at the Holocaust memorial site, and on this last evening we end our stay in Berlin with taking some snapshots of us in private, at our rented apartment in Charlottenburg. Although it took us three weeks to document our own use of the masks, they have in deed been present in our conscience this whole period. The masks have been like friends visiting us, only much less work and a lot more suspense. What will come out of our meeting? We have had a lot of ideas – let the masks be tourist like us – or bring them to one of the stages in this European Capitol of theatre. Hanne has been at an actors` work-shop all weekend, and when she came home tonight, we knew the masks were waiting. Although we are so filled with impressions from our journey, the masks invited us into their journey this evening. We are a married couple who are used to act with one another, and the two masks do also seem to be related. We had a really interesting time discovering small things in our interaction, and tried to explore what the masks had to offer. Thank you masks, thank you Torbjörn Ahlström and thank you Berlin!
