Adrian Bugge has since 2007 photographed small and large encroachments on nature in various places in Norway. One of his very first pictures, which is also included in this exhibition, is taken at Smøla and shows wind turbines that light up in the dark of night. A pristine, golden marsh landscape is glimpsed under the massive masts. "This photograph shows the duality of the project, between nature and intervention. It has become a forest of wind turbines, a new landscape, ”says the photographer.
- What is important to you when shooting?
"The visual. One could document roads and other things around the wind turbines. But I want to convey the mood, that there is something nice about the wind turbines there, but also something threatening. In the imagery I have reinforced the dark and gloomy. In the pictures that hang on the walls of the gallery, massive things come to you from all sides. ”
- How do you photograph?
“I work digitally as I want to get something spontaneous – a first impression of the place. This is what the digital lends itself to. This does not mean that these are random snapshots, but that I blend the planned and immediate to get my visual impression of the places. ”
