Description

During a hard winter's journey through Sápmi (AKA Lapland), artist duo Copper et Gorfer interviewed and collaborated with Sámi women of various ages, staging and visualising their stories and circumstances. Cooper et Gorfer transformed their impressions into picturesque hybrid images; layer upon layer of symbolism and narrative blur the realism of the resulting photographs, which are at times broken into parts and rearranges into enigmatic, fragmented and exaggerated ensembles. Many of the portraits were photographed behind a sheet of glass, introducing physical and permanent layer of disruption and interference. Exhibition: Konstmuseet i Norr, Kiruna, Sweden (20.08-30.09.2016).
