Capturing Things At A
Different Angle
Karin Sanders
August 11 - September 24 | i8 Gallery, Tryggvagata (D3) | Admission: Free!
Karin Sander’s artworks may seem extremely disparate at first
glance, bringing together works that seem very distant from
one another: vegetables nailed to a wall, or enlarged photo-
graphs from a mobile phone, taken at a random angle. But first
glances can be very deceiving. Look closer, and you’ll see how
each image revolves around how a minor change in a state can
create something quite different and new. So you have to think
outside the box to catch the deeper meaning of the artwork.
Karin Sanders’s brilliance consists in coming up with ideas
that might look simple, but lead to wonderful results. GR
