ref. 10194Norway 2015. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Some of the books in the series were made into a film and the film becoming an artwork unto itself. The film was awarded the Critic's Prize on the juried regional exhibition in Trondheim 2017. "The paper is translucent soft airy and completely silent. Quick movements of the papers is physically impossible. Each sheet has one visual element a shape which is mirrored as you turn the page. The fragile paper is printed with motives developed from Arabic ornamentation. This expression was originally created out of mathematics and geometry to avoid imagery that might lead to idolatry. I wanted to combine the book as a system with this geometry to see what that could bring. I find it fascinating how the images switch between flat and spatial" and that despite the strict patterns associations may vary and go towards modernism the oriental and paradoxically also towards figuration. The transparency causes overlaps between the pages that create new shapes and new colors. The sheets melt together in a way which makes it almost impossible for the reader to predict the next sheet's exact pattern and color or to remember precisely the last motif. It plays with the illusions of form color space and order. The image is transformed with each turn of a page and becomes ephemeral. A book starts to exist the moment its pages are turned. Since the book is a media of intimacy presence and touch haptic communication inevitably establishes meaning in itself a communication which invariably will be in some kind of relation to the mental content. It is an arena where perception and thinking operate together it might also bring awareness of your own perception. Books have been holy objects for many different reasons. The fragility of the paper and the actions necessary may add a ritualistic element to the act of reading. I see the reader' act as a performance a slow motion ballet. In a materialistic culture of mass consumption and noisy offensive expressions I find it appropriate to react by focussing on tranquility care and consideration. Like mandalas which often are written in sand to be washed away I have tried to create a space for a contemplative experience displaying the ever changing character and relativeness of existence where different elements always are colored and influenced by their surroundings."

It takes the quickest eye the most penetrating insight and the most painstaking technique to make a photograph that is a felt comment bare of inessentials; a photograph that moves the viewer with an understanding of the meaning of what is photographed.'
