Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen creates graciously incongruous dream-like universes, where lifeless everyday objects inhabit natural and apparently unaltered-by-man landscapes. In between a science fiction moment and a fairy tale mood, his scenarios brim with such an evocative power that one could also easily refer them to a personal narrative that makes them lifelike. These imaginary adventures are evoked by photographic prints that are the result of tireless work – just the final stage of a complex creative and manual process.
