Danish artist Trine Søndergaard’s (*1972) oeuvre is marked by a precision and a sensibility that co-exist with an investigation of the medium of photography and its boundaries. Layered with meaning and quiet emotion, the works are highly acclaimed for their visual intensification of our perception of reality. Søndergaard’s new volume brings together three recent series exploring stillness and introspection. In Stasis different historical time periods and materials meet: By combining images of contemporary women wearing historical dresses and head covers, girls in modern garments wearing 18th century gold embroidered bonnets, and evocative interiors of uninhabited Danish manor houses, Søndergaard creates a universe, which is neither past nor present, fact nor fiction.
