● Nothing that Is not There / Nothing that Is

Av: Tor Finn Malum Fitje

Tor-Finn Malum Fitje is an Norwegian artist currently studying his master degree at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Time based media constitutes the majority of his work, and at the center of his practice lies an interest of translations between mediums, and a fascination of the human urge to express something as something else. In recent works he has been concerned with poetic metaphors in science and the visualization of sound, working in the threshold of representation, where imagery turns into models and words become analogies.

In this two-channel video work, each sound and image represents components in an ever-increasing network of reversible meanings. Gradually changing their order, duration and connections, the artist aims to demonstrate the associative power of the word, as well as it´s shortcomings in conveying emotions. The two pieces meet and seemingly merge through it´s shared references. They form a sort of linguistic blueprint of one another and conjoined, they emerge as a dramatic poem, which main focus lies in the synthesis of immediate opposites.
