What’s on
Now onARIA
Until 21 Nov 2026
Aria unites film and music in a thought-provoking installation that touches on human connection and separation. Drawing on fragments of the age-old opera narrative of Don Quixote, Ea Verdoner's video installation explores love, dissociation and the fragile boundary between fiction and reality. The story is set in a house outside Copenhagen, where a woman is captivated by a man who struggles against invisible forces. The exhibition invites us to step into the work and witness the complex relationship between the two people. Aria is an intimate portrait that examines the tension between physical and mental worlds. It reflects on the quiet exhaustion and alienation tied to contemporary issues. The work leaves a space where time, reality and imagination shift – and where seeing and being seen is negotiated. Aria comes from Italian and means 'air'. We also encounter the word 'aria' as a musical term for the emotionally charged solo songs of classical opera, which are often the high point of the performance. The exhibition borrows from the melodrama of the opera genre and its drawn-out moments of emotion – where time stands still and feelings take shape. Aria is not an exhibition with a chronology. It is not a classic exhibition that we look at. It is an exhibition you find yourself inside – a momentary state rather than a narrative. During the exhibition it will also be possible to experience a series of performances that expand the film's musical universe, performed by the composers Cæcilie Trier and August Rosenbaum, among others.
