8 minIn the 16 mm film to you (1994) a 12-year old girl searches and stretches on a white circular slab of Thassos marble in a field by a coastline. The girl’s focus is turned inwards and on her own movements. The slab was installed by Dolven in Sandnes, near Stavanger, in 1994. In 2018, the artist returned to Sandnes, where she found her sculpture covered in moss, almost unrecognisable. The pigment print of the stone is in the scale of 1:1 presented next to a video monitor with the film of the girl from 1994. The passing of time is perceivable through nature: the changes to the stone from 1994 to 2018 marks a temporal arc of 24 years.
