Sall Lam Toro "Lutos de Amor (Grievances of love)" (2018)

statement / about the work

[A black body painted in black walks a quasi-eternal ankoku butoh walk with lighted black candles that have melted onto certain limbs of the body through a map made of black lines onto a floor.
A recording of a song plays in the background and the black body sings along at times. You may also sing along if you would wish].*



Ten thousand years in the eyes.


Ten thousand years down the shoulder blades.


Ten thousand years up my back.


Ten thousand years down the rusty feet (x4).







* LUTOS DE AMOR: LINEAR NOR LIFE / GRIEVANCES OF LOVE: LINEAR NOR LIFE was performed at Gallery Bloody Milk in Aalborg (May 2018) and Det Jyske Kunstakademi/SPLAB in Aarhus (January 2019).
