Spøgelse (Din Blinde Passager)

Denne oplæsning er optaget i Olafur Eliassons installation 'Din Blinde Passager' på Arken. Teksten hedder 'Spøgelse'.

Jeg er vildt glad for at have fået lov til at optage derinde, jeg synes resultatet er blevet monsterfedt. Stor respekt til Eliasson crew for tilladelsen (og alle hans flotte værker).

This poem is called Spøgelse and was filmed inside the artist Olafur Eliasson's installation 'Din Blinde Passager', which is currently exhibited at Danish art museum Arken.

Translation:

Ghost

Nobody has ever seen a ghost. Not because they don't exist, but because the ghost is destined to only show you what's already imprinted on your retina. That's why cartoons depict them as sheets that cover nothing: The ghost is a canvas for the image we throw up from our memory. Nobody can know if the ghost is really a nobody, or if it has a face that no human being has been empty-minded enough to see. All I know is that I feel like a ghost when you rest your eyes on me and answer the question I should have asked.
