Nanna Gro Henningsen works with uncovering human experience, as it layers itself in our memories and history, and as it can be traced in our physical surroundings. The land of childhood is common to us all, but it is far from the safe zone, free of conflict, that we sometimes long for in blissfull oblivion, when the present is hard bear.

Tales of Tiree tells of a world where words are scarce, a world that is clearly divided into a feminin and a masculin zone, where silence weighs more than a thousand words. The child«s understanding of the world does not begin with the word, it begins with the senses and with actions; with the body - our physical being in the world. Long before we master the language, we have learned of unwritten laws, truth, lies, love and deceit.

The short narrative texts, is a form that Nanna Gro Henningsen has been working with for the last couple of years, alongside with installation and sculpture. The installation presents the oppurtunity to investigate our collective memories, our historical and cultural processes through itÕs physical environment, whereas the short prose opens a door to a more personal psycological space.
