Mound Bound
Mound bound is a spoken word solo performance where poetry and different memory objects are entangled together, looking for a relationship to traditions, roots, and what belonging might mean. The work journeys into 90´s rave, recession, small town aesthetics and naive imaginary pouring inspiration from handcrafts and brutal architecture whilst piercing into traces of family, history and memory.
