has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

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.
