The Forgotten Place
Human's conflicted relationship to nature is a central theme in Gjert Rognlis solo exhibition "The Forgotten Place"
In a new juicy exhibition he sets out his large photographs, a sculpture, and a brand new video.
Gjert Rognli confronts us with a brutal depiction of animals and birds portrayed as domesticated, slaughtered, or crucified. The various artworks contain bizarre interaction between humans and animals. In some works the artist is posing naked with severed reindeer heads.
Representations that brings us as viewers closer to life and death. The exhibition, which is titled, "The Forgotten Place", seems both frightening and alluring. The contrast is great between the unpleasant depictions of animal and masculine brutality, and the seductive colorful depictions of a potentially enigmatic landscape.
