ABSTRACT In this essay I will touch upon my research question. Where it originates from and how I do my research. I will discuss the motivation of “making” and the polarity which exists within the proces of creating. Words are powerful and words often suggest a “truth”. My motivation in my research is not suggesting a truth. It is not about a claim. It is about allowing the body to take space without the selfsensorship which lives within the world of words. The research is about the body and giving the body - having both experienced trauma, joy and struggle- agency and creating a space where “it“ can move between the different stages of “mode”. One of my key questions is, what can we share without using words? And by leaving words and other meaning-creating mediums behind what is allowed to emerge? But the thesis for a big part also touches upon a filmproject discussing how habign two seemingly very differet proejcts can be fruitfull in the creation process. Allowing one to rest from the one project moving into the other. Why do I want to create? A key motivation for creating is the possibility of physically manifesting an idea, memory or atmosphere and allow them, by conceptualisation, to leave me. By materialising them I can discard them. A banal but also urgent reason for me to conceptualise ideas/memories/experiences and share them is being mirrored. Having people somehow relate to the experience. And perhaps take something from it. Working with material and ideas which stems from personal experiences creates a certain amount of doubt. While formulating and being in an ongoing proces it can be fruitful to have an open dialogue, but it also makes me vulnerable to maintaining a connection with my intuition and gut feeling. Questing the quality of things. Questing entitlement. Questing why I feel it has an urgency..
