Window, Chamber & the Corridor is a new performance by Finn Adrian Jorkjen, premiering at Konstepidemin.

The work is preoccupied with questions of pulse, echo, and the inevitability of context collapse. Do you sometimes wake up pondering whether you are a playable character or not? And are pop stars humans or business entities? Humanity has a long tradition of personifying abstract natural phenomena and existential states through mythological figures. The performance gives form to digital ghosts and through mimetic repetition, we will write songs about the stream of information that haunts our public sphere.

Finn Adrian Jorkjen

Finn Adrian Jorkjen (b. 1990, Arendal) uses personal experiences of otherness and desire as the fundamental starting point of his practice. Dealing with issues surrounding language, identity, and mass media, he is particularly interested in the intersection of the private and the hyper public, the mechanisms of the attention economy, and how digital spaces affect the body. In his performances, Jorkjen intentionally stages himself in vulnerable situations to foster a sense of collective intimacy. His practice leans heavily into the emotional, and humor plays a central role, serving as both a survival strategy and a to create space for difficult topics.

Jorkjen is a visual artist based in Oslo. He received his education from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO, 2020) and the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art (NTNU, 2015). He has exhibited and performed at venues including Kunstsilo, Hamar Performance Festival, Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall, and Østlandsutstillingen. In 2022, he received the Norwegian Art Societies’ Debutant Prize at Høstutstillingen for his performance Hvordan det går, and in 2024, he was nominated for the Sparebanken Sør Art Prize. In addition to his solo practice, Jorkjen is one half of the performance duo Koppen & Jorkjen and a co-initiator of the artist network Performance Art Norway.
