Kinga Kiełczyńska and Melanie Bonajo, "Modern Life of the Soul" (2007) and Teresa Murak, "Lillehammer Summer, 15 July- 15 August 1987" (1987)
In 1987, Teresa Murak arrived on a hillside on the outskirts of Lillehammer, NO with sourdough on hand. She spent the next four weeks kneading the dough in a swamp, a spot that she discovered while searching for the source of a stream. Sporting a flowing white gown, she let the leaven work its magic, until a pulsing, living earth mound arose from the swamp. In some ways, her performance doubles as a creation myth, whereby leaven transforms watery earth into the bread of life.
