During an artist’s residence on the island of Stokkøya, I researched the history of the local population and interviewed Roar Svenning. On three different sessions I recorded his memories about his mother Jorunn, who witnessed a fatal shipwreck in the fjord in her early childhood.
She remembered her experience, especially the auditory impressions, such as the metallic sound of the colliding ships, the panicky neighing of drowning horses and the desperate cries of young men, throughout her life.
