The title of his series \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eUnintended Sculptures,\u003c\/I\u003e which he has been working on since 2001, says it all: in nature and the environment, Saxgren discovers relational forms, structures, and optical illusions that seem to have been deliberately placed there by the artist’s hand. To anyone whose eyes are open, it is obvious that those greenhouse-covered fields must have been wrapped by Christo and Jean-Claude—or that these geometrical basalt-rock formations along a section of the coastline looks like an enormous sculptural vision. Saxgren’s eye, schooled in documentary photography, allows him to capture these “sculptures” at the very moment they, as Timothy Persons writes, “best define themselves in the framework of their environments.”\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eExhibition schedule:\u0026nbsp; The National Museum of Photography, Copenhagen, September 20\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=Tahoma\u003e–December \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e19, 2009\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=Arial\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874885988616,"sku":"9783775725019","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775725019_0c7a9716-7909-4b53-9bd9-85ae0db2492e.jpg?v=1744097903","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16287-henrik-saxgren","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
