During his career, artist and experimental architect Einar Thorsteinn has conceived and produced hundreds of different models of space, architecture and mathematical structures. This tireless process of production and its driving forces are the starting point for his lecture-performance where, with more than 700 images, he will deliver an insight into the world of the objects he has created. The act of creating physical, tangible things and the related experience of personal activity and potency play a decisive role and lead to the existential question about who we really are and our destination in life. This question takes a centre stage in his performative lecture which is aiming to create in collaboration with the audience an imaginary space ofthinkingabout what he calls the ‘Physics of Human Life'. His performance is an architectonic experiment in five dimensions.
