I’m working with a series of digitally manipulated photos based on classical sculptures. The object, or part of the object is prolonged and distorted until it assumes a new identity. In a similar way I work with images based on snapshots from an everyday environment.
NIGHT TRAIN
8 photos, lamda, 2007, 18 x 24 cm
This haunting series of images depicts a moment when the laws of physics suddenly seem to change or shift. The curtains, which cover sleeping persons in a nighttime train ride, appear to have their own will and emotions in a drama of attraction and repulsion.

I’ve always been fascinated in the fact that people have an urge to communicate their visual ideas in environments which in one way or another limit the expresson. When traditional tools are missing, whatever mean available is used, like tooth-paste in prisons as a drawing tool, dirt as face paint, or ascii, which consists of letters, numerals and punctuation marks used in computers as a programming tool. In the end of the 90ties I started to collect sms-messages sent around as jokes from mobile phones to mobile phones. This was a time before the built-in cameras and people got creative with the simple signs available. Later I animated some of the messages in video works. Now I use the same idea in still photos.
