Human Geography

Human Geography is (in an alternative version) one of 14 artworks in the multimedia exhibition Carbon Footprints - with art by Unda Arte and music by Armand Gutheim - shown in Coimbra, Portugal, February 2013. The main theme concerns the environment and our lifestyle, explicitly and implicitly... This photograph was exhibited at Cabana dos Parodiantes, Portugal, September 2011.

Love on the Edge I

A homeless woman with a child... What are her eyes saying..?

As in other fine arts, the boundaries of the technology's rules may be explored in fine art photography. In this picture you find a flagrant example of this, accentuating the sense of disharmony... 

This photograph was exhibited at the Fiarte expo in Granada, Spain, April 2011. It was published in Macula Magazine, No. 14 (2011).

Nostalgia

This photograph was exhibited at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, South Korea, November 2011–February 2012.

Sacrificium

During Easter the Christian tradition emphasizes the sacrifice of Jesus - and the sacrificial lamb is eaten in many parts of the world. Sacrificium is also inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's film The Sacrifice, where the protagonist is prepared to sacrifice all he loves, if only a catastrophe may be undone. The St Matthew Passion, the leitmotif in the film, is another source of inspiration.

This photograph was published in Lozenge Magazine, No. 2 (2011). Sacrificium was exhibited in a group expo, Påsk och passion (Easter and Passion), at Gallery 3K in Old Town, Stockholm, Sweden, during Easter 2013. 

Love on the Edge II

One of many interesting art issues is the confrontation with pictures that accentuate prejudicies...

What type of relationship do you see between the two persons in the picture..? This photograph may emphasize the picture of a "dirty" relationship between an older man from the U.S. or Europe and a local, a woman from the countryside in Asia. Let's say this is love. Do you think this is worth less than a more average relationship..? If so, is that thought really reasonable..?

Desolation

An Experiment

"An Experiment" is a possible title in many ways. However, this time it would be interesting to think about   the title as temporary... Ready for a small, creative challenge..? Do you want to decide the title for this photograph..? In any case, what do you think this character is feeling..? Why is he or she placed in this particular environment..? Your associations may lead to a keyword or two, perhaps a title... 

(Picturing one of our visitors:) "'The Silent Sound of Brainstorming'... Perhaps..!" (Someone else:) "'Time for a Nap in the Woods!' Hell Yeah!" Any title you feel matches the photograph is ok!

You can also pick a suggestion here. For example "Getting Inspired"..; "Serenity"..; "My Own Space"..; "A Contrasting Moment"..; "A Human Map in a Wooden Topography"..; "Human Globe in  Wooden Space"..; "Relaxing"..; "Global Experiment"..; "Light of Dawn"..; "Healing Thoughts"..; "Healing Moment in a Norwegian Context"..; "Part of the Solution"..; "Global versus Local"..; "Creative in Privacy"..; "Peace of Mind"..; "The Essence"..; "Take Care of Yourself"..; "Time for Myself"..; "Revelation"..; "These Tranquil Moments"..; "Time to Relax"...    

Postmodern Hybrid

Postmodernism has several faces... One debated issue is whether a single individual may have several different identities or not in our postmodern society. In our view, that depends on what definition of "identity" one uses. Still, today people may have more roles and functions than in the past...

What are you seeing here..? Perhaps features of a woman or a man.., a white or a black person.., a mannequin.., a consumer... or, why not, a verdigrised statue..? Maybe you are distinguishing something else..?

Are you seeing all the included parts at the same time, or not..? Do you let one or a few of these appearances dominate your view of this work of art..? Why..?

In both Postmodern Hybrid and NDE/REVA we are "playing" with different skin color layers... We are sending an anti-racist message. The skin is just a matter of millimeters...

If you imagine that the Postmodern Hybrid and the man in NDE/REVA knew each other somehow... In that case, what kind of relationship would they have..?
