Kunsthall Trondheim
The exhibition Francine (was a machine) presents film, photography and objects by Marte Aas. In her works, Marte Aas presents the everyday with a gaze that offers us something known, yet undefined - a way that reminds us of the strangers gaze. Throughout her artistic career, she uses this kind of gaze - a gaze which also involves trust regarding the photo and camera. With given time, what will come to show? In the obvious ordinary and everyday, new layers and meanings come to show.
The exhibition runs through January 17th - April 27th 2019, in collaboration with Minimalen Kortfilm Festival.
