The Photography of Rune Guneriussen
Mon, 11/23/2009 - 18:49 — Sean CarneyA while back I stumbled across the photography of Rune Guneriussen, bookmarked it, and promptly forgot about it for the better part of a year. Recently when cleaning out my bookmarks I found it again and am simply astounded by all the pictures.
I guess part of the reason I am attracted to these pictures is that I enjoy night photography. Whenever I look at them I can't help but try to figure out how they were taken. Generally taking the pictures like these is easy, but I just cannot imagine the logistics behind getting all these lamps into the forest and supplying power to them.
A while back Mikael and I had an idea very similar to this where we would take a sofa, television, side table and lamp around the province and photograph them in various random places. I liked the idea of a living room set up in the forest, a normal, typical home but completely out of context. These pictures make me want to revisit that project although how to cart everything around and supply power to it still eludes me.
