Experiments With Light & Space, Stavanger kunsthall

This large scale installation used the whole space in the basement of Stavanger kunsthall. The installation is a reconfiguration of the space, in the space itself.
An large photograph fills the length of an entire wall (8 meters long). The photograph is a 1:1 scale copy of the wall opposite, printed onto wallpaper. The image is a double reflection: a reflection of the opposite wall and an inversion of the colours in the image. The image is presented as a negative, where each original colour is represented by its opposite.
I made a drawing on the wall facing the windows. The wall-drawing is a representation of its opposite wall in a scale 1:2. It has been created using carpenters chalk line, which when stretched between two nails is plucked to leave a chalk-line on the wall. This way of working restricts the production of the drawing to straight lines that can be plotted between two points.
A white wooden table is placed in the centre of the room. In the middle of the table, there is a scale model of the room,. The model of the space is made in a scale 1:20 and reflects the whole space upside down, as if a mirror rests facing upwards on the surface of the table.
The work aims to experiment with and investigate the architecture of the room, whilst also re-imagining different versions of the architecture in the space itself. The idea is to use photographs, models and drawings to re-interpret the space they appear in.
