28 September 2008, from 4.30 pm to sunset

Archaeological site of Monte San Martino – Campi di Riva del Garda (Trento, Italy)
Sound Threshold presents As Below So Above, a collaboration with Swedish artists Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Leif Elggren, and their project The Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV). Envisioning the creation of a kingdom beyond nation states, Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV) comprise all those areas of flux and border – geographical, mental or digital.

On Sunday 28 September KREV will reach the archaeological site of Monte San Martino with an installation and a performance that will navigate the uncharted imaginary spaces of a threshold through the very elusiveness of sound.
