​Thebodydrawscircles is at Lysaker making fieldrecordings at the waterfall and along the river. Watching the water as it crashes and explodes, hitting black rock. Thebodydrawscircles puts their faces in the thin mist of tiny droplets rising and floating about the waterfall…they track the white foam gathering, catching the current moving upstream like small floating islands touching , almost meeting , not quite crashing, circulating and disappearing. The drone of an aeroplane above interrupts the recording…..stop…pause..wait….start again. Listen body is here crouching under trees catching sounds suddenly so far away from everything and so close to something. Eyes scan the ground finding shreds of black plastic & an old washed up shoe. Rivers take things, carry things , toss things about and drop things on shorelines like the shoe and beige stockings now caught on sticks, perhaps dragged from a summer day upstream. Rivers don’t stop running, currents continue crossing over and over again and again and again bringing us the silt of underneath places, playing us endless melodies and watching us trying to catch some fish.
