To what extent can we get a grip on processes that take place outside of us?
In The act of (dis)appearance I investigate natural rhythms and their mysteries. I spent a month on a peninsula above the Arctic Circle to surround myself with the sea and the darkness of the polar night. Through the lens of a field camera, I observed the ever-changing landscape where the sun slowly returned. With my collected images and data, I show the different ways we register a landscape. The repetition and rhythm of the tides is reflected in my analog working method where I arrive at fragile final images by repeating different steps. These remain changeable under the influence of light and moisture and, like our surroundings, will slowly disappear.
