Ole Marius Joergensen
Ole Marius Joergensenâs photographs are meticulously staged, honouring the legacy of cinema. With the use of theatrical light and vivid colour juxtapositions, the images emphasise a sense of mystery, as well as a duality between rural life and the modern world. Finding the Red is built upon childhood memories. The series reflects Joergensenâs background in film, wrapping the images in a cinematic style which recalls watching Hollywood movies as a child.
