Notes on Things of Great Importance.
How am I interested in meaning? I am interested in expressions in the search for meaning. The endeavor and the investigation; the experiment can be seen as rooms, where the action is directed towards sensemaking. You don’t know what your are looking for, what may occur, don’t know anything about the result. Nevertheless the actions are meaningful. Lotte Fløe Christensen
In the photographs and sculptures by Lotte Fløe Christensen, the continuous search for a meaning is a crucial ingredient. The triggering motive is not the final answer that the investigation could lead to, but rather the deconstruction in the act itself. Sticks, leaves and tree trunks form linguistic combinations, possible signs, which coexist in a never-ending stream of constructions.
In Notes on Things of Great Importance, which is shown at Nextart Gallery, the artist presents a collection of newly produced works created exclusively for this occasion. The collection consists of both photography and sculptural objects – the latter made of plastic. The nature exists inside the frames, but broadens and extends as often out in the room to form physical objects. A whole, that simultaneously reminds us of life’s limitations and fragility. The exhibition also presents “Construct” and “Still Life (Support)”, two photograps that appeared earlier this spring at the graduation exhibition of the Master Students in photography at Valand Academy . In these the interaction between nature and constructions made by human hand is depicted in a humorous and perceptive manner.
Lotte Fløe Christensen (born 1979, Denmark) graduated from the School of Photography, Gothenburg, spring 2012. Her work has previously been shown in group exhibitions as well as solo exhibitions, in cities like Vienna, Arles, Toronto, Århus and Glasgow. Earlier this year, she participated in Anagram at Fotografins Hus in Stockholm and Paper Match in Copenhagen.
