Performance, duration 2 hours and 40 minutes, and site-specific land art installation. Caroline Amalie Lunden, in front of Horsens Art Museum, Horsens, Denmark.
••• – – – ••• length 25 m.
Performed by Sofie Hesselholdt and Vibeke Mejlvang.

In the durational performance SOS Save Our Souls, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang inscribes the Morse code for the international distress signal SOS directly into the lawn in front of Horsens Art Museum. Dressed in white garments inspired by Greek goddesses of victory, they gently remove pieces of turf, leaving a monumental imprint in the ground. The distress signal ••• – – – ••• acts as a call for help — a cry that points to the vulnerability of the climate, nature, and humanity. The work is left behind as an open wound in the landscape, shifting over time. As summer and autumn growth returns, the imprint will slowly be overtaken, but the distress signal will remain as a visual outcry — a reminder of the crises we are in and a call to action.

Included in Performance i det fri 2025, a week-long outdoor performative event in the public space of Horsens.
