THIS IS HOW I REMEMBER YOU
2018

Client: Region Uppsala
Location: Uppsala, Sweden

Photography through handmade glass lens, printed on paper and glass.

"The dining room on the second floor has been designed by Mette Colberg. In the photo series 'This is how i remember you', reality is broken into facets. We see dancers in the studio, a magnificent light as a background to one or more bodies. The special expression is created through camera lenses that the artist makes herself. They look like crystals and are also exhibited as sculptures. Through the lenses, Colberg sees the world, not as it is, but as it could be. Those who stay in the dining room are invited to look in a similar way. One of the photographs hanging in the dining room has been laminated in the glass window facing the corridor. Those standing in the corridor see the dining room and the photographs through Colberg's glasswork. A photo within a photo."
