Kaja Leijon: «NOEO»
Welcome to an exhibition opening, January 23 at 18:00.
The title NOEO, meaning to perceive, understand, contemplate and consider, points to a state of attention and recognition, inviting the viewer to take an active role in observation and reflection. The works alternate between photography and film, where theme and form meet, and are examined in mutual interplay. Historical traces in landscapes, architecture, and human engagement with preservation and decay is a central topic. Some places are highlighted and given value within the collective consciousness, while others are neglected and disappear.
