"RYFYLKINGAR"
 Photo printed on fiber concrete, 20 pieces á 700x700mm Commissioned by Ryfylke Museum at Sand, Norway Manipulated photos with a nod to traditional Norwegian folklore painting, where the shapes of stars, hearts, hexagons and octagons often are used. I have photographed objects found in the archives and the environment of the museum. Details of furniture, buildings, nature and animals are made into new objects, or "ryfylkingar*" as I named them to stress the origin of the photos. (*ryfylking = native from Ryfylke, ryfylkingar = plural of ryfylking.) Using uv-proof ink, the images are printed directly onto tiles of fiber concrete and mounted on a concrete wall to complete a 15 meter long frieze. Behind this concrete wall lies the museum's vault containing the records of Ryfylke's history. Geir Egil Bergjord, Stavanger October 2009 |
