PROTECT THE SALMON
is a play by Ida Marie Hede, commissioned for the exhibition iwillmedievalfutureyou2. In a neutral scenography, two characters, a man and a woman, are talking to each other. The two are employed at a cryonics clinic, and are surrounded by both the dormant bodies of the past and the abstract possibility of future life. As time- and space travelers, they take turns telling each other anecdotes and memories, and recounting intimate situations from their lives, trying to understand our current, past, and future societies.

The book series Other is inconsistent through and through because it is never self-similar and invariably has different content: the publications unfold an artistic or curatiorial project, or images, ideas, and reveries, and thereby remain – in all their otherness – themselves.
