Visual artist Nina Worren shows her video work Skin Study V (Ribble Fish and Humans) in the window exhibition space Galleri 1.4 m3, and on the occasion of the Art Matter Festival, the space behind the window will be opened during the festival days, where Worren will install a process wall with sketches and works consisting of text, photography, collage, and mixed media.
“A word, a thought, a touch, warm or cold sensory impressions. As the largest organ, the skin holds our body and mind together, embraces us and protects us. It carries both visible and invisible stories. Does the skin remember?”
Skin Studies is a larger, ongoing work consisting of several studies. In her studies, Nina Worren examines skin in a diversity of forms, ages and relationships across different skin types: From the surface of the earth and water to the deep sea, people, fauna, flora, minerals, elements and materials. Through artistic research, experiments and combinations of media and methods, content and materiality, new ways of seeing and experiencing our surroundings are found. Tactility, time, proximity and silence are strongly present in the mediation.
