KNUT ÅSDAM

The Long Gaze, The Short Gaze

In a companion book to the challenging exhibition at Bergen Kunsthalle, viewers experience the latest work of Norwegian artist Knut Åsdam, one of Europe’s central contemporary practitioners of film, video art and installation. This publication brings together a collection of new commissioned texts on the projects in the exhibition: Åsdam’s new films, Abyss and Tripoli (both 2010), and a new installation work based on the artist’s own archive of found photo material. Exploring once again themes of transformation and relocation, borders and boundaries, inside and outside, Asdam confronts issues like the migration of people between land areas, or physical movement and the bodily experience of architecture in urban surroundings.
