Hans 搁辞蝉别苍蝉迟谤枚尘
Helsinki Contemporary is showing a solo exhibition by Hans Rosentr枚m, who is known for his sound and spatial installations. The exhibition explores our relationship with nature and each other.
The Gallery space will be taken over by a narrative, multi-channel sound installation The Sea - Chapter I. The work is a continuation of 搁辞蝉别苍蝉迟谤枚尘鈥檚 Shoreline sound installation shown in June-July 2017 in the international ARoS Triennial in Aarhus, Denmark. In the work the overlaid voices deal with questions about the interaction between nature and the human community. 搁辞蝉别苍蝉迟谤枚尘 has written the words together with the Palestinian poet Farah Chamma.
The sound work will be accompanied by two large series of photograms 鈥� exposed directly onto photographic paper 鈥� that depict time and the mutability of nature. J枚kuls谩rl贸n I and II follow the melting process of two pieces of iceberg ice taken from Iceland. Documenting the rapid disappearance of ice created under pressure over the course of centuries emphasizes the condensation of time, and reminds us of its consequences in a world that is being powerfully re-shaped by humankind.
The exhibition ends with a photograph diptych that had its beginnings in the feeling of disorientation that arose during the UK鈥檚 Brexit process. BBC 29.03 shows the debate in the UK Parliament on triggering Article 50 in March 2017, which was the official start of the UK鈥檚 leaving the European Union. The exhibition photographs have not been post-processed, but are documentations of live BBC TV transmissions, in which outside interference has broken up the image on screen.
