Life’s seemingly endless stream of uneventfulness and boredom can be transcended and distilled, maybe even improved upon, through the photographic medium, capturing something that might not even be there, or only for a blink of an eye. This single moment captured can be a window to another, parallel, world. These images have their own life and their own story to tell. They might even tell you to enjoy and be aware of these subtle nuances,at all times present and surrounding you. Put together they tell yet another story. Indulgence, intoxication and sleepless nights. Lighthearted, wandering snapshots blends in with abstract meditative imagery.
Early mornings and late night adventures juxtaposed with the peace of nature. Random meetings, malls, work and vacation, strangers and family, all go hand in hand, in this celebration of everyday life and its inherent randomness, transforming it into a kaleidoscopic, hyperrealistic reality.

µ[mju:]-II is an exhibition based around the analog snapshot photo. What defines a moment? With this starting point Mats Fagerberg, Thomas Furu and Kjetil Tangencollected a selection of snapshots, seeking to show the spontaneous and unpredictable nature captured in a single moment. The result is an exhibition of strong similarities with visual and thematic coherence throughout, but, because each artist’s own definition of the moment, also shows the distinct flavor of all three participants. The entire exhibition is shot on analog point-n-shoot equipment.
