In 'How do I seek the light?' you are invited to individually lay in a tent on a camping mattress surrounded by a sleeping bag, book, toothbrush and a feather; the intimate surrounding of the few things Rosa brought with her on a long cycling journey. Within the tent you find a screen and headphones drawing you into a memory. A voice, singing and talking, shares with you the fear of the dark, of camping alone, of being vulnerable. The voice questions who hurts a human; another human and what other living entities; forests, rocks, grass, seed and rivers can protect a human.

This is the first chapter of LONG, a series of installations experimenting with creating intimate environments for an audience to experience the video- and audio pieces consisting of material captured while cycling from Bolivia to the most southern point of South America. During the five cycling months Rosa explored how to deepen her relationship to the landscape surrounding her.
