Fatamorgana: Final Assignment
So, I had my final assignment back in December, but seeing as how there'd be an exhibition, I delayed posting about it here, as I wanted people who went to see it, to have the option of seeing it for the first time there, but the exhibition ended yesterday, and now I'd like to share it with the entire world!

I'm very proud of these photographs, so if you don't mind, I'd like you to hit the gallery link above, and savour the pictures in full view over on that site, rather than here in a low quality slideshow :).
When Time Stands Still
Last friday, I presented my latest and last assignment at Fatamorgana, "When Time Stands Still", a presentation of a moment, when time freezes or becomes irrelevant for the subject. When you get lost, lost in thought and lost in feeling... That, at least, is my interpretation. These pictures are, to me, my finest work here at Fatamorgana and I'm both proud of that and glad that it went so well. While it's true that not all four pictures fit together as a series (three of them do, supposedly), it was never my intention, I wanted to capture 4 different people lost in 4 different places, geographically and mentally.

And so, without further ado:
Thora Dolven Balke
A few weeks ago, we had a Norwegian guest teacher named Thora Dolven Balke, during her week, we were encouraged to experiment and play, so that's exactly what I did, an experiment per day. (Gallery).
First, I took a few pictures of my scouts mascot on a wireframe motorcycle from Zambia:
Second, I made a video of myself bicycling to school, adjusting the speed and adding music to suit me feeling at that point during the ride:

Third, I put some leafs in a deep plate with water and put it in the freezer:
Fourth and finally, I bought some silicone molds for christmas men and made a small standing army of winter:
To Thora, thank you for a fun and refreshing week :)
Glyptoteket
I recently went on a trip to Glyptoteket, I've been several times before, but I always manage to forget my camera... Not so this time, I did in fact bring it, and I took some pictures worth uploading. (Gallery)
På Plads “In Your Place”
The first project I did at Fatamorgana was "På Plads" which roughly translates into "In Your Place", in the sense that it's where you are and where you belong. It was an assignment centered around human relations. I chose the pictures I chose because they, to me, show different facets of interaction in different layers of society. Yes, they're overwhelmingly to do with Christianity, but that's also a very comprehensible form of human relations in just one person. (Gallery)
