«Most of the time we are somewhere else»
The picture title is a quotation from the book «Traces of the city». This sentence inspired me to make the picture series of abounded family cabins and residents in Finnmark, Norway.
When I read this sentence it gave toughs of all the abounded estates around, fully furnished an with a feeling of «we will soon return»
What made us never come back? And why did it never get used again?
The pictures is made in combinations with feeling of peeping thru windows with reflections of the arctic nature of the north, and other pictures is made from the inside with decay and sun bleached interior with an cloudiness view of the nature outside the windows.
The pictures contains an decayed melancholy and gives an feeling of cloudiness due the reflections in the glasses.
In 1993 he moved to Oslo, where he still lives.
Growing up in Finnmark has inspired many of his projects.
Anders is fascinated by the raw and bare nature of northern Norway, as well as post-war architecture.
His pictures from northern Norway often play on the combination of architecture and nature. Humanity is absent while emptiness and decay take up a larger place in the motifs.
After a great curiosity for photography, he started at Robert Meyers Academy of Fine Arts in 2001 and graduated in 2005.
