Bengt Carling
Bengt Carling is a ’Homo ludens’, a person who plays. Music, dance, poetry, form, colour, light, sound, happiness, openness and love are all important ingredients in the recipe for his creation. ICEHOTEL ful€ls Bengt’s main theme. ’Temporary pleasure’, that which disappears like life itself, like a lust €lled dinner, improvised music, or a composted Nobel Dinner. The clink of ice, an eatable glass, wind and sun as the fuel for a pancake machine, a geodesic dome of cardboard, an elephant that ies a kite, a masochistic €nger piano of cactus. Winter cold gives birth to ice, snow, silence; gives life, lust, movement, beauty, presence and borderlessness.
