Don’t Take a Water Bottle for Granted

Have you ever seen a bottle ballet or wondered what a cord might tell you if you listened deeply

In Don’t Take a Water Bottle for Granted, the artist Lisa Mårtensson collaborates with everyday objects as performers, aiming to shift agency from her own body to theirs and back again.

Through gestures of intimacy & failure the work unfolds as a more-than-human encounter.

Relations become fluid and animistic as plastic, wood and flesh negotiate who leads and who follows.

Supervisors: Josefine Wikström and Zafira Vrba Woodski// Dramaturge: Sally O´Neill//Supported by: Hedlandet Residens, Inter Arts Center in Malmö and Skogen.

Lisa is a Malmö based performer, performance maker and leader of artistic collaborative processes.

She has a background in dance and performance art and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre with a Major in Conceptual Performing Arts from Malmö Theatre Academy. She is now in the process of taking her Masters degree in Contemporary Performative Arts at the University of Gothenburg.

She runs the performance duo Absurdum Temporary Art together with sound artist and composer Lotta Fahlén.

She is also a gallerist and curator and runs FRANK Gallery & Studios and VAAG Gallery in Malmö.
