Trace My Pulse
Performance by Marie Hauge Jensen
Pop-up space performance, Herning gågade / Exhibition at Herning Hospital and Herning Libary

In Trace My Pulse, Danish performance artist Marie Hauge Jensen invites passersby from the streets of Herning into a temporary, empty storefront. Within this intimate and raw space, visitors are invited to participate in a quiet, yet deeply resonant act of co-creation.

At the center of the room, Hauge Jensen and each participant drum together, with every beat sending splashes of color onto the canvas below. The rhythm of the drumming is slow and intentional, a shared language of sound and touch. There are no words, only the sound of the beat and the mark it leaves behind. Through this physical action, visitors leave their unique imprint on the canvas, a trace of their time and presence.

The result is a series of spontaneous paintings that embody moments of shared rhythm, vulnerability, and connection. These artworks were exhibited at Herning Hospital, offering a quiet reflection of human interaction and the healing power of creative exchange.
