entry description
With the photography project «It`s all around you», Gjert Rognli draws in references from his affiliation with Arctic Northern Norway, to light, darkness and the seasons. In this project, he uses fragments from the intangible cultural heritage from his Sámi Indigenous background. And he invites us on a mythological journey into deep forests and over misty landscapes. He illuminates nature with LED lights and creates light installations in the landscape.about the photographer
