Workshop // Home Writings

Workshop // 17:00 - 20:00
HOME WRITINGS er en skriveworkshop for alle, som ønsker at blive bedre til at skrive, og som har lyst til at arbejde eksperimentelt og tværdisciplinært med skriften sammen med andre i et rum fyldt med fotografier. Som en del af workshoppen får du entré og en kort introduktion ved underviser Helene Johanne Christensen til udstillingen "Home Works" af den internationalt anerkendte danske kunstner Joakim Eskildsen. De udstillede værker er en del af et projekt, hvori Eskildsen skildrer sin families forskellige hjem, hans børns opvækst samt årstiderne og tidens gang. Fotografierne berører på sanselig vis almene og universelle spørgsmål om hjem, menneskets eksistens og livets skønhed og forgængelighed. Eskildsen arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem kunst og dokumentarisme med en unik sans for komposition, lys og farve, som ofte fremkalder en malerisk stemning i hans værker, og som har gjort hans praksis kendt internationalt.
Hvad er et hjem? Hvordan kan det personlige blive universelt? Hvilke fortællinger skaber vi om vores eget liv? Hvilken betydning har vores omgivelser og de genstande, vi omgiver os med, for vores livsfortællinger? Hvordan kan man (be)skrive hjemmet, livet, tiden, barndommen? Det er nogle af de spørgsmål, vi kommer til at beskæftige os med på workshoppen.
Eskildsens fotografier danner udgangspunkt for vores arbejde med skriften. Vi lader os inspirere af billederne, deres udtryk og de temaer, de tager op. Gennem skriveøvelser, samtale og oplæsning arbejder vi med billedsprog, fortællerstemme, perspektiver, metaforer, sanselighed og stil og taler om billedernes og teksternes fremstilling af familie, tid, hjem og forholdet mellem omgivelser og mennesker. Workshoppen er for alle uanset skriveerfaring. Underviser er forfatter og kunstformidler Helene Johanne Christensen.
Helene Johanne Christensen (f.1989) er forfatter, skriveunderviser, kunstformidler og cand.mag. i litteraturvidenskab og museologi. Senest udkom digtsamlingen Sammenfald (2021). Hun debuterede med digtsamlingen BLÅ (2018). Hendes lyrik, prosa, essays og fotografier er publiceret i tidsskrifter som Seismograf, Atlas Magasin, Idoart og på bastard.blog. Hun har netop været på et residency i Herlev: Havevært (DESIRE) og fra maj-juni er hun på et residency på Rønnebæksholm sammen med billedkunstner Peter Kærgaard som en del af projektet Fælles om haven.

Opening // Joakim Eskildsen - Home Works

Exhibition opening // 17:00 - 19:00

Home works is the title of the internationally renowned artist Joakim Eskildsen’s years long and comprehensive project, which he began in 2005 and is still currently working on today. The exhibition Joakim Eskildsen: Home Works is the first major presentation of Home Works in Denmark and internationally.

Eskildsen works in the crossfield between art and documentary with a unique sense for light, color and composition, which often evokes a picturesque mood in his work, and which has made his artistic practice known internationally. He has often depicted people and their living conditions which he has come to know through longer stays and travels to Cuba, USA and a large number of countries in Europe. For seven years, Eskildsen and author Cia Rinne traveled around the world and portrayed the living conditions and culture of the Roma, which became the extensive work The Roma Journeys (2000-2006), that intimately and poetically depicts the largest minority in Europe.

After Eskildsen had children, he turned the camera lens towards his own life with the project Home Works where he has portrayed the family’s different homes, his children’s upbringing as well as the changing seasons and the passage of time. Home works touches on and explores in a sensory way, general and universal questions about home, the human existence and the beauty and transience of life. The exhibition will unfold Home Works chronologically through different chapters based on the family’s different homes and will touch upon themes and excerpts in the extensive work such as seasons and childhood. Through this, the exhibition will illuminate the character of the multifaceted project and the special temporality which is connected to the evolving of life and the human being as well as the cycle of nature.

About the artist
Joakim Eskildsen (born 1971) was trained by court photographer Rigmor Mydtskov and graduated from Aalto University in Helsinki. Eskildsen has exhibited widely nationally and internationally, i.a. in The Black Diamond, Royal Danish Library, in 2016 and most recently in 2022 at the National Museum of Contemporary Art Lisbon and Abbaye de Jumièges, France. He has also carried out assignments for, among others, the New Yorker, The New York Times and Time Magazine.

The exhibition is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Politiken Foundation and Augustinus Fonden.

Opening // Keiria Hissabu - Agumm

Exhibition Opening // 17:00-19:00

On Fotografisk Center's exhibition platform, Breaking, the exhibition Agumm by filmmaker Keiria Hissabu (b. 1999) is shown. Through experimental and unique imagery, Hissabu artistically introduces the various steps that occur in the construction of a house. The audience meets two characters on an unrecognizable and undefined land and their attempt to build their own home from scratch. In this process, an imaginary opening occurs. This opening becomes a space for dialogue of ways of living, including ways of eating, sizes of the rooms and the placement of doors and windows. 

Keiria Hissabu experiments with and challenges the audience's understanding of home as both a concept and an experience and raises questions about what a home can be defined by - and by whom. Agumm is a story about what happens when you build. Because in the same way as when you build houses, you simultaneously build and create a storyline.
