Ahead [Installation, 2008] by Anne Katrine Dolven
w/ LABoral and Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum
Role: Sound Artist
|
|
 Against the face of a snow-covered mountain, the viewer sees the small shapes of a group of dark-clothed figures moving slowly, and with great difficulty, up the slope. Forming a kind of human conveyor belt to carry one of their number backwards up the mountain, the figures look like a band of medieval penitents on a strange, redemptive journey through the wilderness. The existential/religious connotations of the work are reinforced by its luminous painterly texture, and by its scale. The installation is shown alongside an accompanying video with small details from the shoot.
