A small found postcard of a town set in the foothills of mountains and a lake beside is a stunning attraction that is reworked into a multi piece micro narrative. With the aid of a microscopic tool, I can take a journey through the streets of Odda. Escaping into the image I have become a nonparticipating Flanuer by imagination.
I am seeking narrative of the incidental moment and find simple things to dwell on. An activity of anonymous figure crossing a pedestrian crossing, intersected by a shadow, created by a figure walking on the other side of the road become a micro narrative for my fascination. There is a boy at the side of a road with what appears to be an ice-cream, waiting for the oncoming traffic to pass. The stories keep emerging and the narratives continue.
This work is produced on silver foils mounted onto aluminum and sealed with a granular finish, allowing them to glisten when you move around the image.
