Artist talk // Finn Larsen and Ole Christiansen in conversation with gallerist Banja Rathnov
Artist talk // 7 June 4-5 pm – the conversation will be in Danish
Working with photography takes more than a fraction of a second
The two Danish photographers, Finn Larsen and Ole Christiansen, are presented at the exhibition Over time at Banja Rathnov galleri & kunsthandel during Copenhagen Photo Festival. In this artist talk the artists and gallerist will have an informal conversation about what it means to be a photographer and to create rather than take photographs. The talk will also touch on Finn Larsen's many projects engaged with 'rewilding' and man's relationship with nature – projects made long before the biodiversity crises truly dawned on most of us. – e.g. DUMPEN photographed in Greenland over a decade
Both photographers were educated in 1980 and are acknowledged for their lifelong work within photography and for trying to create images that do not just reproduce images we already have in our heads. Both artists implement the photographic medium’s particular ability to open up the everyday to new perspectives.
