According to the dictionary, costume means dress and geography the study of the surface of the earth and its conditions. In Germanic languages, the word for dress is related to how much one can carry.

In the work Sikt, sjikt, dikt (bomull, skyer, fugl, sjøsprøyt) (Sight, layer, poem (cotton, clouds, bird, ocean spray)) I have been inspired by how clouds are formed, cotton is grown and how birds can live gliding in the sky for months without landing. The birds eat different living organisms that float around in the air, some of which live their entire lives inside clouds. These organisms also contribute to the formation of clouds, clouds cannot be formed without small particles that water vapour can attach to. Where there is a lot of plankton in the ocean, a lot of clouds are formed. Where cotton is grown, the ocean is often polluted because of the chemicals sprayed on the cotton and transported into the ocean with water from the fields. The areas dry up and the fish die.

In German, the words for face, history and poetry resemble each other: Gesicht, Geschichte, Gedicht. If one removes the prefix ‘ge-‘, one is left with sicht, schichte, dicht, in Norwegian: sikt (sight), sjikt (layer), and tett (dense). The word poem (Gedicht) relates to densification. The German philosopher Husserl wrote that the moment we human beings perceive is such a densification of impressions. It lasts long enough for things to seem interlinked and short enough for us to connect to what is happening in front of us. We see movements as continuous and not divided, even if we blink our eyes. One assumes that animals can perceive moments as both faster and slower than us.

The poetical can often not be rationally described and can only be experienced in meeting, in a densification. Is the way we perceive time fundamentally poetic? Some physicists are calculating whether time is something that comes into existence between things, and not a fundamental constant structure.
