Off-Road. 2010

HUMAN SITES sohn+isaksen

‘Print in Space – Space in Print’
Akademija, Belgrade, Serbia

Off-Road is a photographic series with motives from Serbia. The title refers to how motives – after processing and modification – may appear with new meanings. New roads open up or maybe you go off the road. Each work in the series consists of one or more photos, which – when folded – can become 3-dimensional bags or boxes. Each bag/box is presented in the exhibition along with its 2-dimensional counterpart, a cutting-sheet with the same motive. The shelves are made from recycled cardboard collected in Belgrade, Serbia.

Participating artists in the exhibition project:
Birgitte Kristensen, Camilla Rasborg, Pernille Andersen

Billedkunstnerne Else Ploug Isaksen og Bodil Sohn har siden 2003 arbejdet sammen i duoen HUMAN SITES sohn+isaksen. Det fotografiske medie er valgt pga. dets høje grad af objektivitet, som muliggør en nedtoning af det individuelle, så Sohn og Isaksen i samarbejdet skaber et fælles, kunstnerisk udtryk. Gennem årene har de udviklet en kunstpraksis, hvor de med en legende tilgang udfordrer fotografiets todimensionalitet. Herved udfordres oplevelsen af den troværdige ’virkelighed’, som fotografiet umiddelbart er repræsentant for, og forskydes i nye retninger, så flertydige fortolkninger sættes i spil.
