WELCOME!
Imagine the landscape as a body. Like several bodies. Imagine a story where the mountain is the protagonist narrator (in the different roles it can take). We, the humans, are the supporting characters that support the landscape's stories.
The Copenhagen-based artist Nanna Elvin Hansen and the Oslo-based artist Ase Brunborg Lie have a two-month stay at Velferden started producing a new video work. Nanna and Ase have traveled around the Sokndals area for two months and filmed alone and in collaboration with the local population. They have worked with landscape as a theme, with a particular focus on the history of mining and encroachment on nature.
The artists have worked with the idea that humans are a supporting character in a story where the landscape is the protagonist. How does this alternative division of roles affect our view of the landscape and how is it reflected in the film medium and in our interaction with nature? In their process, the artists have looked at how different forms of interaction leave their mark on the landscape, and how people relate to the ecology they live in and surround themselves with. What kind of identity is created here in interaction with the landscape?
