Works
Urnemagersken 2019 –
Urnemagersken bevæger sig naturligt mellem samtale, skabelse og berabejdelse. Hun gør sorgprocessen og dødelighed håndgribelig ved at invitera dig med i skabelsen af urnen. Det kan være, at du har mistet en nær slænting og ænsker at gøre ritualet fra ske til jord til noget særligt. eller at du er et sted i livet hvor […]
Her Porcelain Chapel 2018
comments from the wisitors during the perfomance 2/6-7/6 2018 ”ett suggestivt, drømlikt æventyr. Sensuellt och spännande” ”Mjukhet, mörkt, ljust, dofter, ytor, känslor varm i kall källare” ”Jag fick så många känslor, tankar och minnen.

REFUGIUM Vallauris 2016

Consciousness and subtle, energetic experiences draw on inward, personal […]
Purification of Her Porcelain Spirit 2015
I’m watching Christin Johansson’s latest artwork. As the last shot slowly fades I’m not breathing, and for a long time my rational mind is strangely unsettled. What was that? My mind is struggling to understand, as I’ve promised her to write about my experience. My experience is visceral, emotional, personal and transpersonal, but it’s certainly […]
Ceremony of her porcelain spirit 2014
She crushes the crisp porcelain and gives me a present. The porcelain is crushed in the mortar between her bare feet before she pours it into water. What’s it all about? I’ve never experienced anything quite like this before and still it feels familiar and safe, as if Mother Earth is calling me through all […]
