Who I am
Interpretation of the outside world is my field. The photography is often used in conjunction with/opposed to the direct observation. People’s need to create coherence in perceptions is challenged through a collage-like form of work, in which humour and irony are bound together with a deliberate mystery. Do reality, communication and reading agree?
My latest work
Echo of flowers is produced for S & E, Janus, Vestjyllands Art museum, Tistrup 2018.
and has its origin in Papaver variabilis, a project developed for SUBROSA – the flower in Nordic Contemporary Art. A photo of a poppy is manipulated on the computer and new species are generated — a parallel to the gardeners work for selective breeding – the new flower is painted on canvas, becoming a reality again – Unimaginable imaginability.
Fragment of a project, where reality signs into uncertainty. Produced for Europahy – Europa Felix, ArtCenter Silkeborg Bath 2017
We are in the post-national and post-Christian Europe, where the sovereignty of the countries diminish and values change.
Being solely a member of a nation is unfashionable, and common values concerning religion or language are dubious or even unacceptable as a self-definition. You may go to war in remote countries from theoretical reasons such as humanitarian and political, or for pay.

Each fashion season has its narrative with highly staged images.
Historically, headgear plays a major role in the war. it protects, but also reflects the person and society´s technical and ritual status at any given time.
Symbols and attributes are added as a kind of incantation that may overshadow the functional. It can be a national symbol, definition of rank, status, self-definition or as camouflage. Another aspect of war is fear, violence, cruelty and killing. This is is the inspiration for this project.
