Flensburg is the master of light. Born in Denmark in 1961 she has attained an international career and is widley known in Scandinavia.
Jørgen Dehs writes in his text on Flensburg "The Construction of the interior": "In the artist Anette H Flensburg’s book We live inside one another we see a series of images of empty, unfurnished rooms. The images do not stand alone, but are accompanied by short prose poems. Together, the two perform the moving process of grieving for the loss of someone close. The series of images forms part of a process of memory and reflection where the boundary between material and immaterial reality, between the manifest graphics and the mental images generated by the texts, shifts back and forth. Unoccupied by objects or people, the rooms in the images present us with one sole human action: the construction of a room. Anything else that the rooms contains – and protects – appears as the open possibility of that which has yet to occur. Just as the texts point to that which no longer is, the images appear to point to life that has yet to begin."
Flensburg has an upcoming exhibition at Galleri Andersson/Sandström in Stockholm this November.
