At Pachinko
Grønlandsleiret 47C, 0191 Oslo
Opening 18:00–20:00 7 December 2023
Runs from 8 December to 10 December
Using slit-scan photography and 1970s image slide PAX dissolve units, Henrik Follesø Egeland’s Extended Dissolve takes a closer look at the static image in a constant state of change.
This exhibition is the first presentation of preliminary results from the residency Dataton Dialogues. Phase 1, centred around production, research and experimentation took place in October–November; phase 2, in December–January, now seeks to open the process to the public through talks, presentations and visits.
Organised in collaboration with Pachinko, PRAKSIS residency 25: Dataton Dialogues brings Tris Vonna-Michell and Henrik Follesø Egeland to work at Pachinko from 23 October 2023 to January 2024, during which they will use a 1970s Dataton MIC 3 Programmer for PAX dissolve units to generate audiovisual experiments that partially respond to the artistic practices of Ed Vonna-Michell (1950-2020), Tris’s father.
About Henrik Follesø Egeland
Henrik Follesø Egeland (b.1994) is an Oslo-based visual artist and photographer, and a graduate from the Oslo National Academy of Arts (MFA) as well as the University of Roehampton (BFA). Through a technical engagement with photography, his work operates both within and outside traditional photographic representation. Exploring alternative means of photographic recording and reproduction, as well as possibilities of transmutation. This technical experimentation is used as an investigative approach, to explore ideas of landscape, memory and perceptions of reality. Pulling together webs of interconnected yet disparate ideas and notions, into new constellations.
