I WILL SEE YOU WHEN THE SUN RISE is an artistic manifesto for the public space. The publication consists of twenty statements referring to how to act and react during times of injustice and tyranny.
Beginning with I WILL, each statement is presented as a personalized promise and commitment to the self and to society at large. The statements also question how to protect life, society and democratic foundations from an individual and subjective point of view.
Playing with the relationship between the "I" as a messenger and "you" as a receiver, the spectator embodies the content of the "I will", and thereby is invited to take an intellectual and emotional position through its content.
Mimicking an authoritarian aesthetic, the project seeks to politicize the public sphere through a personal covenant that is political yet poetic, and sometimes utopian at its best - and worst.
The project consists of public flags, a video and a publication.
The project is inspired by historian Timothy Snyder’s publication "On Tyranni: Twenty lessons for the Twentieth Century".
