The Trondheim Kunstmuseum has a summer exhibit on its second floor by Anne-Karin Furunes, a Trondheim artist who teaches at the local university. She creates works based upon archival photographs, often of young people who have been institutionalized at some point in their lives.
She creates her works on huge stretches of dark canvas which she perforates with round holes of different sizes, allowing the white walls on which they are hung to come through to varying degrees. This creates images of great depth, that alter their appearance as you move toward or away from them.
And after wards I walk out into the rain again. We go next door to the museum's cafe, order smorbrod and white wine...light pours in through the windows...the northern light that fills the room with a soft luminescence. And here are other works, bright colors against white walls. But somehow the images on the museum's second floor stay in my mind...creating a different memory of my time in this city.
