Birgitte Moos’ works has developed from colorful paintings to mixed media works, focused on repetition of European early mythological symbols and figures, into dark abstract almost architectonic works.
This transition is a result of research into visual representation of color, reduction, gravity, ancient history and memories, combined with a keen interest in experimental theatrical spatial creation from earliest times up to applied new technologies.
Being born into the time of ‘the no future generation” and anarchy, the Artist was confronted by the idea of visually manifesting the influence of that era, by using the concept of a fascinating ancient system: The Memory Palace.
A technique used for almost total recall, the method of loci, or “ars memoriae” (art of memory in Latin).
The woven layers in each individual painting, shown at Edgar Varela Fine Arts,is a narrative into a separate vision of remembrance.
Symbolically, a brain scattered full of information: A perverse peep, into the creative and complex atmosphere inside the memory of a mind palace.

TIGGEROPERAEN / THE BEGGARS OPERA by Cantabile2 at K2, Copenhagen 2009 Set and costume design by Birgitte Moos
PRESS
January 24, 2009 - Arbejderen/The Worker “... in addition Cantabile2 puts its weight behind the visual images in the scenography. Colours, figures, large surprising installations... the scenography is simple yet symbol laden. Just like Brecht the few props have a large role in the piece.”
January 17, 2009_-_Weekend Avisen/The weekend Newspaper "Conjures a dark image in a broad format."
January 17, 2009_-_Information “Cheerful, it isn't. But smashingly beautiful and visually uncompromisingly.”
January 13, 2009_-_Gregers Dirckinck-Holmfeld “... or we are closer to a silent performance in this beautiful downplayed presentation, where the pathos is on the verge of the Spaniard Garcia Lorca.”
January 13, 2009_-_Frederiksborg Amts Avis/Frederiksborg County Newspaper “... also oddly enough from the visual expression and the fantasticly rich ideas that are behind, the performance is an unique experience.”
