The project Urds Brønd was developed in and about Aarhus and Ry and therefore uses tales, folklore, sites, and archeological findings from the area of Midtjylland in its creation and as its foundation.

Collage of negatives by .baekgaard and myself from the exhibition "negative spaces"

This collage is one out of three collective art works made from both new, old, and archival negatives in different film formats. Plus a few contact prints.

The display is a visualisation of our collaboration. An investigation into our photographic practice and a. exploration of the photograph as both a negative and positive image of the outside world or of an inner space - of a negative space 🕳

The photographs are displayed on light podiums making use of the transparency of the negative.

In the exhibition"negative spaces" you will find both individual and collaborative pieces by .baekgaard and myself.

This collage is one out of three collective art works made from both new, old, and archival negatives in different film formats. Plus a few contact prints.

The display is a visualisation of our collaboration. It’s an art work in its own right but at the same time it’s also a display of our process and way of thinking through and with photography.

The negatives and contact sheets are displayed on light podiums making use of the transparency of the negative. While also investigating the negative and positive of an image and image making.

The exhibition is installed until the end of April.
