Beddingwood #1 "The sun"
Was artwork of the day on:
I am fascinated of a form that is described as docufiction—fiction in the form of a documentary—and something that can mess with your head.
The starting point for this series was two huge industry halls at an abandoned shipyard, situated in Fredrikstad (FMV).
The images creates some sort of a “hyper realism” – a realism that at all times is anchored through documentation, but that at the same time creates a fictive zone that makes possible retrospective as well as sideways views onto the real world. I’ve worked associatively and let the rooms tell me what shall happen to them.
Today these halls have been thorn down. In that perspective “Beddingwood” becomes just a quiet contemplation over something that is gone forever.

In the presence of the light ... I love the sign in the left corner, saying: "DO NOT ...".
Ok, I do not believe in angels, but I do believe in the idea of believing that there is something beyond time.
That is what this work is about for me.

This is a wonderful work. To me it's as if all time has been flattened and can be seen in one go. The word "palimpsest"
sort of applys, but in this work more can be seen than just traces of the past.

Yes, time tunnel.
We are running backward into the future ...
If one would be able to face this challange it would be a great studio.

it seems as every change of the view to another point in this picture is also a change in time and orientation and the perspective is torn inside out.

I agree, these works bring the feeling of time being
captured, a sound wave, an instinctual grasp of the present.
beautiful work.

it's an experience. I smell the halls, hear the reflections and feel the sunrays. This work totally captures me. Great work!

Gone forever blades of sunlight, rotten armchair...
In any case, a photograph is a statement on things past.
I find comfort in that as in this image.
