rune guneriussen.












norwegian photographer rune guneriussen takes photos of inanimate objects in unlikely natural environments providing her viewer with the sense of contradiction, nature vs. material, creating somewhat surreal settings...allowing us to ponder the possibilities. a magical world where humans have disappeared and objects seemingly constructed for mere functionality take on a life of their own. how fabulous! when viewing rune's photos you wonder what might appear in a certain setting or scene next. these functional objects having been released from human captivity have freed themselves in a glorious way, basking in the nature that has been denied them. i can picture one of her photos very large in a space that cries for a touch of whimsy, a touch of nature, a touch of humor. thoughts? fun or could you do without such scenarios? i adore the photos with the light, the lamps, the darkness illuminated. they leave me wondering mysteriously how they are plugged in? but then i don't care, i just bask in their glow. maybe they never needed cords? enjoy! :)
