Julien Discrit: The Day Trip Project – DV PAL
A moving object made of mirrors is gliding across a park or what seems to be a forest. An assembly of polyhedrons, their specific angles reflecting only what is beneath and what is above, constructs the geometrical machine. As the crystal-like object progresses through the woodlands, it becomes as if transparent reflecting the sky and the ground merge.
*Julien Discrit’s work explores geography, cartography and the notion of space. His works involve the perception and the representation of territories looking at the connections between the subject and the world.

Marius Moldvær: Cairn, 2012 – photographic print, shelves, archival boxes
Personal and somewhat private diary entries render the construction, the dismantling and the displacement of a cairn in a desolate mountain landscape. The diary notes are being set against the geologist’s scientific approach to the different varieties of rocks and the building of cairns. A photograph depicts the cairn in its various positions in the remote mountain landscape.
*Marius Moldvær’s work starts out as an investigation; an investigation of occurrences that will unfold another set of ideas and explorations of related occurrences. The focus in Marius’s work is on the personal thoughts, ponderings and experiences. This investigation could be described as a space where the cultural and social world is fused with the personal.
