Box. Unbox

English below

Udstillingen ’Box. Unbox’ tager udgangspunkt i forskelligt indsamlet, fotografisk materiale: fundne, hjemløse fotografier og negativer med ukendte mennesker, landskaber, historier og referencer. Med forskellige greb har vi åbnet billederne for at aflokke dem hemmeligheder og skjulte fortællinger. Vi har benyttet arkæologisk gravearbejde, teknisk og historisk research, fysiske eksperimenter, ændring af formater, sammenstillinger og inddragelse af objekter, analoge og digitale processer. De fundne, anonyme fotografier genopstår nu i en ny kontekst, form og materialitet. Box’en er åbnet og pakket ud. Drøm og virkelighed krydser hinanden. Billederne skaber nye fortællinger og kommer os i møde fra deres nye ’sted’: “Jeg er et lysglimt, et øjeblik. Se mig!”
Gruppen bag ’Box.Unbox’ har samarbejdet siden ‘page-turner’-workshoppen med paula roush under Photobook Week Aarhus 2020.

In English

The exhibition ‘Box. Unbox’ is based on differently collected, photographic material: found and orphaned photographs and negatives with anonymous people, landscapes, stories and references. Using different methods, we have unboxed the photographs to learn about their secrets and to unfold hidden stories. We have acted as archaeologists of photography, conducted historical and technical research, carried out different experiments, changed formats and introduced things and processes – analogue and digital. The found, anonymous photographs now arise in a new context, form and materiality. The box is open, unpacked. Dream and reality merge. The images create new narratives, they look at us from their new position: “I am a flash of light; a moment. Look at me!”
