the new glass centre 't eksternest' was opened just a year ago.
this exhibition is an attempt to show some points of contact between image and representation, around a nucleus of glass objects.



matthew durran makes glass objects, and then shines light through them onto photographic paper,
without using a camera, to produce a photogram.
this makes the inner structure of the glass object visible, creating a new world, a new landscape, a new image.


ingrid arts has created ten small glass objects for this occasion,
all of which are shaped by the juxtaposition of clarity and opacity.


didier tisseyre creates graphic forms in sculptural glass and presents them in an environment of slide and light projections : an interplay of image and representation.


frank van den ham evokes indonesia in the colour and poetry of his glass compositions:
not by depiction but through imagery.


the photographer jen gossé takes photographic images as objects;
he strips them of their identity as depictions and uses them as images pure and simple.

zora perrier provides the poetic dimension by putting the characteristics of the image into words,
in the form of short poems.
