Margit Lukács and Persijn Broersen | All or nothing at all

By Persijn Broersen and Margit Lukács

For the exhibition at Viborg Kunsthal, Margit Lukács and Persijn Broersen have taken their cue from Frank Sinatra’s hit song ‘All Or Nothing At All’. The song is about control and the fear of losing it – having it all or being alone. It was Sinatra’s first hit (1939) and his combination of white and black music with his golden voice enchanted millions. Originally sung from an all-male perspective, the song is transformed into an alternative, rebellious version from a female perspective. For this project, the artists collaborated with The Animation Workshop in Viborg to create a virtual game-like landscape of Viborg as an endless, empty city with a labyrinthine setting. The exhibition space transformed into an arena, with the centre of the ground floor only accessible from the first floor. Here te visitor experienced an abundance of corridors, shelters, dark corners, old and new buildings, marketplaces and car parks, and breathtaking views of an adventurous lake.
