entry description
The inspiration for the project comes from his upbringing in Arctic Northern Norway, and the closeness to an ancient animistic nature religion, and the belief that nature will show the way in life. The artist Gjert Rognli transforms ordinary landscapes into a surreal and beautiful place to be, and turned it into a visual experience. The artist uses LED lights, luminescent material and other photographic effects to create the artworks.about the photographer
