Point Voyeur
The exhibition was showed at Hå Gamle Prestegard and Oslo Kunstforening during 2015.
Point Voyeur is a lookout perched between two types of landscapes.
In one direction the eye perceives boundless ranges of untouched wilderness that when bathed in the evening sunlight, glow like national romantic paintings. In the other direction the eye is pulled into a vast, cavernous pit wherein dinosaurean machines gnarl and gnaw at the mountain with insatiable hunger until the ancient mountain has become tiny bits of gravel.
A caravan is parked at Point Voyeur. Inside, a geologist and a landscape painter meet to discuss the view as seen through their professional perspectives. Their conversation is punctuated by the insistent beating of their clenched fists upon the tabletop.
The moon eventually sets behind one landscape as the sun rises over the other.
The two men bid each other Godspeed and leave the caravan.
