IN BETWEEN // Eyes as Big as Plates, a collaborative project by Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen
Starting out as a play on characters from Nordic folklore, the project has evolved into a continual search for modern human’s belonging to nature in different places.
Each image in the series presents a solitary figure in a landscape, dressed in elements from surroundings that indicate neither time nor place. Nature acts as both content and context: characters literally inhabit the landscape wearing sculptures they create in collaboration with the artists. The protagonists of the pictures say the portraits give them a sense of mental space, a connection with nature.
Since 2011 the artist duo has portrayed seniors in Norway, Finland, France, US, UK, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Japan, Greenland, Czech Republic and South Korea with the creation of over 100 portraits.
The main goal is to create a general investigation of modern human relations with Nature.
