Linda Hofvander and Terje Abusdal/ duo exhibition at MELK Oslo
W are excited to continue our series of duo shows with two solo presentations by Terje Abusdal and Linda Hofvander titled ITAKA and Shadow Imprints. Through distinct artistic voices that may differ in form, both artists approach photography as a means of reconfiguring personal experience. They investigate how individual perspectives can expand beyond the private and open toward a shared understanding of their practice and the world.
Shadow Imprints
Linda Hofvander, working with photography, video, and installation, focuses on the mechanisms of perception. Through subtle shifts in light, space, and perspective, she exposes the thresholds where the familiar turns strange, and where private observation becomes a shared mode of seeing.
Shadow Imprints is divided in two parts. Part one is the sculptural series Gerd. A collection of clothes of personal importance has been cast, and the filled insides shaped to bodies. The work presented are photographic fixations of these bodies mounted on metal sheets. They have the shapes of concave and convex mirrors. Part two is the photograph on the wall called Shadow Imprints – a documentation of the sculptural work Gerd as a negative image and an attempt to develop the bodies in a photographic process.
