‘What can we do that we can only do with time’

«Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine» is an ongoing project as part of osloBIENNALEN, currently interrupted by Covid-19. Initiated by the Norwegian choreographer Mette Edvardsen in 2010, «Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine» has taken on a variety of forms. Referred to as a ‘library of living books’ it has appeared as a reading room, an exhibition, a workspace, a publishing house and a bookshop. Recently, with the descriptive and all encompassing title Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine – A book on reading, writing, memory and forgetting in a library of living books, the project took the form of a book.
