We are pleased to present Christopher Robin Nordström’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, 'Anatomy of Incidents', featuring a series of photographs and a sculptural work. The show is an extended version 'Impact Arrangement', which Nordström presented as his Master’s Exhibition at Galleri Mejan in 2025.
Opening Thursday 5 November 17:00–20:00
"There seems to be a human impulse to look at things that, out of consideration for those affected, we ought to avert our eyes from. Accidents are a case in point. In 'Anatomy of Incidents', Nordström focuses on a world of high speeds: velodrome cycling. The images in the show recreate dramatic events and can be described as a form of media-historical reconstruction. The suddenness of accidents long made it impossible to capture the events themselves with a camera. The only option was to photograph an accident after it had already happened. In some cases, as in Nordström’s work, this meant staging the aftermath of the catastrophe. The gap between the composed stillness of these reconstructions and noise of the accidents themselves characterises both the historical images and the new works."–excerpt from the exhibition text by Niclas Östlind.
