“Precious Balance Walk” is a film created by the intuitive art project “I Still Live in Water,” by Felicia Konrad and Johan Haugen. Six Nordic performance artists were invited to create performative events with and in the waters of the Öresund Strait. “Precious Balance Walk” was filmed over four days in August 2019, between piers 1 and 2 at Ribersborg Beach in Malmö. The film will be shown continuously throughout the day on the TV in Mellanrummet/Restaurant Smak.

From 2021 to 2024, “Precious Balance Walk” has won numerous awards at independent film festivals and has been screened in various locations around the world such as São Paulo, London, Oslo, and most recently in a group exhibition in Amsterdam in March 2024. “Precious Balance Walk” can also be streamed on Triart.
