This series integrates objects whose character is miniature, where the emphasis is on details, some strange, unreal, uncomfortable, tense, unnatural, and inorganic, although each form is inspired by an element from the nature of the Fleinvær islands.

The Nordic experience has brought a series of modifications to the artistic discourse, leading to a distancing from the figurative, an interruption of narrative through the structure of form – character, which has been replaced by a type of abstract plasticity, whose physiognomy is generated by a completely different type of observation. Therefore, the exhibition presents works with schematized, simplified configurations, which non-mimetically refer to relief, shapes, rocks, vegetation, and the light of Nordic landscapes. There is a chosen, striking tension between the organicity of the forms and their materiality, a dichotomy that can also be observed in the exhibition’s path, which offers an unusual scenography of artificial aquatic landscapes populated by metallic organisms. The exhibition involves, from both the perspective of viewing and the narrative logic, a multi-sensory approach through a complex visual installation carefully linked to space, involving: object, sound design, light design, and video projections; the artist’s intention being to create a multisensory space in which the spectator is fully integrated into this reinterpretation of the Arctic landscape. The works surprise with tactility; each organism emits, renders incompletely and distorts the reminiscence of a complex structure, of epidemic formations whose organicity is reproduced in metal, with different alloys.

The Fleinvær Stories series narrates through visual structures different specters of sensations and profound memories from a world whose austerity surprises with an imperceptible complexity to inexperienced eyes.
