Teleportation is the final presentation of Erik Friis Reitan´s Ph.d project in artistic research at The Art Academy, Department of Contemporary Art, at KMD.

Through field trips and exhibitions, Erik Friis Reitan has explored how photography relates to absence and presence, and how such an exploration can be used to make immersive installations. As the project has developed, the installations themselves and in particular their evasiveness as absent or past events, has become a topic for Friis Reitan´s artistic research. 

Teleportation Epilogue is the final iteration of the project, and will function as a portal into the project and the exhibitions that were part of it.

It will be a two-part event: The first part will be a performative lecture where Erik Friis Reitan talks about his motivations for making the project and shows background material. In the second part we will experience a staging of the project, through residue material from the exhibitions.

Program:

I was there, performative lecture
15 minute break/coffee
