1. Stressed, when said backwards, another word appears: desserts. They each originate from very different places.
    Stressed comes from a world of modern times, it's a newly applied word, used in many languages and often for limited expressions. 
    It is seldom something we choose to be but rather something we become and acts as some kind of a prison giving a short gazed look on things.
    It's used so often that it's lost it's actual meaning and harshness, it has become a banality.
    None of the two are necessities in life, humans can do very well without.
    Desserts comes from ancient times with much space and time, it hints to pleasure and indulgence, it's about exploring the many layers of taste,
    and already when pronounced, you can hear a slowness, being allowed to take time, to sit down and enjoy.
    It's a warm, generous and tender word whereas stressed is a short and non-giving, narrow word.
    Desserts breaths beauty, the luxury of time and voluptuousness. We can use our senses and smell the desserts, we can eat and digest them. Desserts is palpable, tactile. It is an object we can choose to devour or to gently nip.
    Desserts can be confound with another ample and wide word: deserts; It's meaning and connotations being close to our joint project, it makes it  another place to ponder about, just as all the other - sometimes abandoned - places we find and look for, explore and naively wish to occupy, fill and show slightly different than in it's usual state of being.
    It relates also to the notion of emptiness and fullness being intrinsically connected.

    It is a joint project by Inger Elisabeth Gleditsch and Jana Phlips.
