Trolldays & Trollnights is an exhibition space for art located in an old shopfront that has been converted into a storage room. It acts as an inverted ekphrasis of the line “YOU DO NOT SEE ME, but I am the one who decides” by Tor Ulven. Could it also be a retrocausal ekphrasis—one in which Tor Ulven somehow wrote about this room in advance?

The room consists of remnants and traces of its own history. Its only fixed source of light is a flickering bulb. To view the works, visitors must climb ladders and use a flashlight. The shelving structures create a kind of hierarchy. They call to mind the game Snakes and Ladders, a dollhouse, or a display case—and with that, the scale begins to shift. Whose hand shapes and places the works? What kind of language is this?
