TROMS is what Inger Lise Rasmussen has called her new series of photogravures. With this regional title we are all taken as viewers out to northern Norwegian mountain landscapes that are so remote and magnificent that the longing to take possession of them is coupled with the fear of freezing to death and annihilation. There is no manipulation here, no playing with the illusion or other displacement of reality. In an almost magical way we are drawn in by the lure of these white mountain massifs, where the Norway spruce outlines its black patterns in a calligraphic formal perfection disturbed only by faint signs that two-legged beings have also been here: an electric cable there, a cabin here, – insignificant traces that the next epic winter can easily erase.
About the Artist
Inger Lise Rasmussen trained as a visual artist, more specifically as a graphicist. Her interest in photography has always existed, but it was not until the beginning of the nineties, when it became possible to work with polymer photogravure, that she began to work professionally with it. She is particularly fascinated by big cities. However, these should not be understood simply as specific cities; they should be seen just as much as an interpretation of the conditions in which modern urban man lives.
