Description: "The Worry Box" by Elleve is an immersive sound art project that transforms anonymous human worries into sonic textures and collective resonance. Inspired by cognitive therapeutic tools, the work explores vulnerability, emotional release, and communal listening through processed speech, granular synthesis, and field recordings. A listening space for shared reflection.

Campingvognen / The camper.

Inside a forest in Northern Jutland, hidden behind trees and bushes, stands an abandoned and dilapidated caravan. No one can remember where it comes from or what it does there. It has been forgotten. Likely it meant something to someone at some point. Having a value and a purpose, now it seems like a lonely and out-of-place object that is slowly and partially degraded by nature. But looks are deceiving. Because where the caravan was once useful to man, the life of the forest has now moved in and created new cultures and habitats. The old memories have been replaced by new ones and intertwine in a wonderful way. In present and past tense.

"Campingvognen" / “The camper” is an installation and multimedia work by the danish artist Kristina Kristoffersen. The installation was available to the public in the period 24/4 - 1/5 2023 from 12-15 and 18-21 PM. During the intervals, two different compositions were played in the form of hidden speakers from the caravan. The visitor had to witness the contrast between day and evening, the sounds of nature and the compositions as a functioning unit, and at the same time reflect on our consumption and "throw away" culture. And what happens when we don't take a stand.
The main focus of the artist was to create an atmosphere that the visitor could observe by both using the area inside and outside the caravan with the senses. The music consisted of recordings of various lengths, thus the composition was never quite the same. In addition, nature's influence on the soundscape also helped to change the perception and atmosphere in and around the caravan.
In the videos "Day" and "Evening" we can relive a moment from the place. The videos are recorded on a modern iPhone and are deliberately not edited, to create a more authentic and relatable "dogma" experience. The composition is composed of the music and field recordings from both video and binaural microphones in a large patchwork, with purpose to recreate the feeling of being present.
Concept, composition, mix and video editing: Kristina Kristoffersen

The "Campingvognen" was made as part of the sound and space exam in collaboration with The Royal Conservatory of Music, Aalborg/Denmark.
