HERBARIUM
Inspired by my father’s school books and some old display cases from the 50s,
I have created art photographs of dead flowers and insects.
Do we continue to ignore other species, or has a new era come;
where knowledge gives respect to all life on earth?
No flowers,
no insects,
nothing.
SCAR
Scar is an art installation in two parts. The Utøya landscapes were photographed using a 360-degree panoramic camera and exposed on the legendary Kodak Aerochrome infrared film and on outdated black and white Polaroid materials.
The photographs from the Government Quarter show fragmented details of twisted steel from the wreck of the car that carried the bomb. The terror attack in 2011 is the backdrop as well as the motif in both cases, but the perspectives and the points of view are different. In this way, the artist encourages audiences to continue asking new questions in the public conversation about 22 July.
Melancholia
Nature and man. How are the two of us really doing? How is our relationship today?
Are we losing each other soon, or maybe it has already happened?
Do you also feel a Melancholy?
Observer
Once upon a time, a long time ago, an Observer came to our world. O only wanted to understand in its own way and for that it had one eye that could see what
was hidden from the rest of us. O found poetry, melancholy and small sprouts of hope. Hope that one day we would understand what we had and take good care of this.
The Observer was not naive, but sought understanding in its own way by looking more closely at what surrounds our reality, our incredible world
which is experienced so differently by us who inhabit it.
Arctic Mood
“As the composer of Arctic Mood, it was important for me to collaborate with a visual artist who could help support the work’s narrative. Werner Anderson’s working method made this possible and resulted in a holistic and detailed expression where the images and music merged seamlessly.”
Brynjar Rasmussen, Arctic Mood
Naken
No one is perfect, we all have a body, some take good care of it, others abuse it throughout their lives. The Polaroids are first photographed with an Instant Camera, then they are transferred to watercolor paper, before they are again photographed and enlarged many times up. This means that chemistry, dust and defects become very clear in the photographs of the partially deconstructed naked bodies.
