Viewing Room #9 - Residence of Impermanence by Christian Houge
Residence of Impermanence
A Norwegian artist and nature lover sets old trophy animals on fire and gives them a last breath of life before they are set free. His mission is to spark up a dialogue on our relationship to nature, and ultimately, to ourselves. Christian Houges exhibition Residence of Impermanence at Fotografiska is beautiful and thought provoking.
Houge's work forms a message rooted in the now antiquated concepts of colonialism, twinned with a questioning of the overexploitation of Earth's resources. And, unfortunately, the latter remains an urgent issue.
After having collaborated with Christian Houge over the past 15 years, we are thrilled to promote his exhibition at Fotografiska in Stockholm.
Houge’s original art prints are available in 2 different sizes - in editions of 7 + 2 A.P.
Please contact Ellen-K Willas for more details on availability and prices.
