“I was struck by the simple observation that if you want to know something about reality today, the chances are that you would learn more by going to an art gallery than reading a newspaper”
In this first issue of Debris Fanzine, we present three artists: Andreas Bennin, Hege Dons Samset and Maiken Stene, who in very different ways work with representations of the landscape. They have in common a concern with man’s intervention into nature, posing questions in relation to how we live with or in opposition to nature. It is intriguing to see how they all challenge the representation of nature as image – the landscape. Applying different strategies and approaches to the construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of the landscape, their three projects interact in unexpected ways, proposing alternative directions for the landscape image.
