Reality Slipped Into a Symbol<\/strong> is the final part of a larger work from the Moria Refugee Camp on the island of Lesbos in Greece. In this work, all the photos are manipulated. By manipulating the images, I want to encourage the viewer to pose questions about the truth value of the photos. In a world full of manipulated photos, it is surprising that we still view photographs as true in many contexts. Even though we know that they can easily be manipulated and that the story changes depending on where the camera is pointed, we nevertheless still trust a photograph. I believe this is because we read photographs almost intuitively, and that we do not make any great distinction between what we see and what we feel when we read a picture in front of us.<\/p>\n I continue the visual expression using layers, visible manipulation and almost a violation of the image, in the second work:<\/p>\n Here, I follow rescue workers, seed growers, avid gardeners, refugees, soldiers, nature lovers, young people and others around Norway, Australia and Europe. How do we prepare for crises, and how should we be prepared for the future?<\/p>\n Following an era of modernity and individualism, the idea of the future is no longer exclusively filled with opportunities. The opportunity to fulfil our dreams is once again dependent on a destructive situation around us. The struggle to save the planet does not look promising, either with a view to climate trends or to the probability that radical changes will be effected in behaviour or policies;<\/p>\n Populist politics and non-democratic movements are constantly gaining momentum.<\/p>\n Humankind has always lived with the threat of crises, but from the perspective of a cosmopolitan, western cultural sphere, a change has occurred. At the core of modern pop culture is the notion that tomorrow will always be better than today; this element is inherent. Self-fulfilment and who you aspire to be, have, in many ways, been separate from the pressures, the forces and the coincidences of the world around us.<\/p>\n In a nutshell, the connections between self\/world and the future\/time will be recalibrated.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”8259″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\nRegarding the Pain of the Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n
