MEMENTO

Photographs by Trine Søndergaard and Søren Lose

09 October – 20 November 2011

Trine Søndergaard
STRUDE

Trine Søndergaard visited Fanø, a small Danish island in the Baltic Sea over a period of three years. She photographed local women wearing the traditional strude – a hood that covers the upper and lower parts of the face as a protection against sun, wind and sand – during annual festivities. The results are calm, almost classical portraits that focus on the traditional headdress, revealing traces of memory from former times.
Trine Søndergaard’s photographs serve as artistic research on both the continual interplay between ”visibility and invisibility (...) seeing and knowing” (Camilla Jalving) as well as on the constituting conditions of a region’s cultural identity.

Søren Lose
HOME

Although human figures are never actually portrayed in Søren Lose’s photographs, that is what they are about. They depict the discrete traces humans left in nature or in farms, standing abandoned on the vast, open landscape of Lolland. Born and raised on this island Søren Lose regularly returns to his place of origin.
His long-term project Home encompasses more than intrinsic images on the existences of anonymous people. It is a visual essay on the meaning of origin and sense of belonging, vividly connecting accounts of ”time, story telling and memory“ (Anna Krogh).
