Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen photographs groups of ordinary household objects mimicking wild animals.
The scenes capture a peculiarly Nordic combination of otherworldliness and dark humor. A herd of desk lamps turn their lighted heads downwards to graze in the twilight of a lonely Savannah.

While Guneriussen offers no interpretations of her work, the surreal juxtaposition of man-made objects with distinctly wild settings evokes the fragility and ultimately the ridiculousness of man's efforts to subdue nature. The clean, sterile lines of the objects stand in defiant contrast to the ragged edges of the stones, waves and trees around them.





Rune Guneriussen has a BA (Hons) Photography from Surrey Institute of Art & Design, has a studio and gallery in the Arena (a center for contemporary art). The images, particularly the lamps on the snow covered trees got our attention and are really impressive!
