Scintillations

About

Nadja Bournonville’s images are part of the series, Blindfell, a project that focus on one of the basics of our confrontation with the surrounding world: the sight, and the wonderous workings and malfunctions of perception. Blindfell, is old English and means to rob someone of their ability to see. The sound- sculptures and -installations created by Sara Wallgren often dwells on the physical capacities of sound; The oscillations of the sound wave, the limited frequency range of the human ear, the immanence of information in sound and its capacity of invisibly filling out architectural spaces. The sound sculpture Alphard that is presented in the exhibition at exp12/ exposure twelve relates to its surrounding as a converter or tool for perception. In Alexander Gehring’s work ‚Atlantis‘ show colored landscapes manipulated in the darkroom in order to create an enigmatic setting in which the image itself looses its meaning and disappears into color and shape. Like the mysterious sunken kingdom the images recall an almost forgotten era of photography and refers to it’s inherent arcane aura.
