It Absorbs: On Dance as a Porous Art Object is a publication from Skogen Community Press and a collaboration between dance artist Maia Means and Oda Brekke. It features an essay written by Brekke alongside the making of the piece dead dead document that premiered at MDT in Stockholm 2024 where the publication was presented together with the Reading Edge Library. The text traces contextual and material histories that the work engages with and questions the relationship between dance as artistic practice, place and an economy that force us to move on.
