Rebels At Work

[Bjørn Rørslett]

You are in a possession of an IR-capable camera (Nikon D600 broad-band), there is the 16 mm f/3.5 Nikkor in your pocket, and you are way up north in Arctic Norway, this is all you get:



The slight enigmatic title is easier to understand when I disclose the artists' name: A Norwegian team of installation artists knows as "Pøbel" (loosely translates 'Rebels').

A crazy "sculpture" or I think that's what it is, using unusual materials, and the extreme wide angle  plus th ir colors works to communicate the crazyness of it all, brilliant!

Art inspires Art. 

[Thomas Stellwag]

beside your exceptional capturing, i find it more interesting than many Bienale artworks

Did someone drop an A-bomb up there?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

No, although the interpretation is perhaps understandable. Even more so considering this is Finnmark country which borders on Russia.

There is a long story behind all this which at present is irrelevant to the visualisation. Thus, time capsules are stored here that only will be opened in 2062, 50 years after the inception of this artwork.

I was working together with my namesake Bjørn J at this occasion. Maybe he feels an in-depth explanation is required.

The post processing and the landscape was the reason for my interpretation. I could see this in something like a computer game about a post nuclear world.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

IR lends itself to alienated and surreal motifs and their interpretation. In the present case, IR was a no-brainer.
