To die, and tomorrow (2026)

Durational poem performance, 18 days, printed matter

To die, and tomorrow (2026) was an 18 day long durational performance that consisted of a poem being written and read to an audience.

The readings were performed in the auditorium of the Royal academy of Fine Art at the beginning of summer 2026, in Stockholm, Sweden, my home now. Each day I wrote, and at 15:30 I read aloud whatever I had written that day, to whoever came to listen.

What started off as diary entries describing “today” expanded into the realm of myth in the attempt to describe “tomorrow”. Reality devolved into a fever dream of ecological disasters, American imperialism, cocktail koans, and two sides of the same individualist coin; the Buddha and the Cowboy.

But “tomorrow” has always been notoriously difficult to describe. When myth runs out of breath, it stutters. Langauge falls apart into its components. Those beginnings of words are seeds that contain many meanings, seeds that grow and flourish when they are spoken. They will never mean one resolution- but rather they will forever be charged with the potential of many.

To die, and tomorrow (2026) currently exists as a booklet in a very limited print run.
