Rune Guneriussen’s conceptual work, somewhere between installation and photography, features site-specific installations throughout his native Norway.
Born in 1977, Guneriussen studied at Eiker College and received a BA in photography at the Surrey Institute of Art & Design.
Using an artistic process that concerns the object, locale, and time of installation, Guneriussen takes photographs using a large-format view camera that documents the existence of the installation itself.
The resulting photographs illustrate attentive handling and a recognition of light to form a new idea of reality.
Mixing rural landscapes with everyday objects such as desk lamps or books, Guneriussen’s analogous application of material and space correlates to humans’ connection to the planet.
As an artist, Guneriussen believes that art itself should be questioning and bewildering as opposed to patronizing and restricting.
As opposed to the current fashion, he does not want to dictate a way to the understanding of his art, but rather indicate a path to understanding a story.

Absolutely – “big scale,” bold, artist mindset. To see an installation, even in a photo, feels like witnessing something extraordinary, especially with the installation’s short lifespan.

I really enjoy installation artists. How they create art on such a big scale, giving you an instant feel what they’re trying to convey. Way harder than painting a picture at time, I would think!

An exceptional way to use lamps and books, no?
