Element by Espen Tollefsen

Element is a photographic installation covering the walls of the Black Box, where a series of small landscape photographs come together in an immense panorama of Northern Norwegian nature. Employing collage and manipulated perspective, Tollefsen creates an irrational and dreamlike vision of a landscape that is both beautiful and merciless, physical and emotional – and where the most important element is the subjective experience of the viewer himself.
