VISUAL LANGUAGE / VISUELT SPROG

Inspiration is taken from photographs and paintings by artists such as Gregory Crewdson, Alex Colville and Francisco de Goya, who portrayed everyday situations, but exposed the darkness and ugliness lurking beneath the surface. Goya's 14 “black paintings” are in particular interesting - they are ominous without being especially violent (with the exception of Saturn devouring his son - a story that oddly mirrors this one). "Black Blood" looks for images that depict desperation, hopelessness, agression and depravity as hidden just out of sight and yet makes their presence known on a sensory, perhaps instinctive level - which is what “Black Blood” should elicit in its viewer.

Inspiration drages fra fotografier og malerier af kunstnere såsom Gregory Crewdson, Alex Colville og Franciso de Goya, der portrætterede hverdagssituationer, men afslørede mørket og grimheden, som ulmer under overfladen. Goya's 14 "sorte malerier" er især af interesse - de er ildevarslende uden at være specielt voldelige (med undtagelse af Saturn, der æder sin søn - en fortælling der sjovt nok spejler denne). "Sort Blod" bruger billeder som skildrer desperation, håbløshed, aggression og fordærv som værende lige udenfor syne, men som gør sin tilstedeværelse kendt på et sanseligt, endda instinktivt plan - hvilket er hvad "Sort Blod" gerne vil udløse i seeren.
