ANNA BJERGER – SAND IN YOUR EYES
2012-02-20Anna Bjerger’s fascination is in the construction of an image. She works from photographs. Having found an image it might lie around her studio for some years while she absorbs its essence. The photographs she chose to work from for this show all have an inherent interference, either in the photographic process such as vaseline or coloured filters on the lens, or oil and turps stains from Bjerger’s studio. When painted, these disruptions cause the viewer to rethink the image and take a slower look.
The exhibition will feature a major new work, ‘Filter’, comprising an image of a woman holding a colour chart repainted 24 times on panels hung as a diamond grid. The repetition of a single motif, each treated with the same intensity, makes it impossible to relate to the panels as singular images. Their differences becomes virtues, their mistakes accepted, as it becomes more and more unclear what we are looking at.
