In this soundwalk, Jan Carleklev connects to the desire to tell and share memories from the past and present. The sonic experience allows for a different perspective on Jädraås, a small village in the province of Gästrikland/ Sweden. Through the deafening sound of the river Jädraån or the sound of giant wind turbines far up in the air, we are listing to the story of humans trying to tame the forces of nature in their continues search for another life.
1000 horses is the result of an artist's residence at Jädraås Art.
