LAZNIA 1 2006 - Nils Olav Bøe CONSTRUCTED LANDSCAPE
07.04-28.05.2006
Curator: Agnieszka Wołodźko
A meditative audio–visual installation prepared by the Norwegian artist. Nils Olav Bøe created from scratch the snowy landscape of the austere North, this time in miniature. The scenes staged in a film studio, located on a worktable became a starting point for the creating of a film record of a fictional journey. The viewers, hypnotised by the beauty and serenity emanating from the created pictures, would succumb to the illusion that a real landscape was moving before their eyes. It was only after a while, when they noticed the repetitions of the montage, that they would realise that their senses had lied to them.
