Careless Confetti

Alter ego when creating pieces, that is not within the boundaries of visual art. Here I create installation art, welt sculptures, and screen prints clothing under the name Cirque de City.
Careless Confetti is extracted from imagination after an evening of deep thoughts. These thoughts mostly circled my experiences from a hydronephrosis in my left kidney, which led to a operation.

The months leading up to the operation, I found myself joking about bringing the dead kidney back home, so I could use it in an art piece. But when the final day, of my five days stay at Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen Hospital) came to an end, I had no wish to remember the experiences felt on my body. But as they wont vanish from my mind, a productive way to work with this, is to create a poem:

The anesthesia nurse asks, do you need local sedation, before I put a needle in your spine to anesthetize you. You say: "No thank you, I'm ready." She takes about 12 tries to get the needle pinned correctly between spine 14 and 15. And then, you are out.  

Then

The two seconds it takes for the medical staff to drag/withdraw a tube from your lungs, feels like wakening from a deep sleep by being strangled. But just as I was able to react to the strangling the tube was clear/out, and I was carried over into a hospital bed being wrapped in blankets like a newborn baby. ....      


As I was dwelling these experiences, I came to the conclusion that no matter what happens (to you), there will always be someone somewhere with the complete opposite feeling. And if you feel like being down and blue for a while, people without similar experiences will never be able to understand you.  Their opposite state of mind might nod and agreed,,, but if you ask their opinion, the answer you get often seems hollow. As you rethink situations of this type, you come to the simple conclusion that you have changed more than your close friends, and through that change comes a different goal with your life.    need a change of scenario.  

Careless Confetti, there will always be Confetti falling and people partying no matter what happens to you, and while it may seem unfair, there is nothing left to do than start your own repair. Hence the name Careless Confetti.
