Sonja Thomsen, visiting photographer

Visiting artist Sonja Thomsen came to our school today to give a talk on her Nexus exhibition that is currently running in our gallery. The photos include many different subject matters that fill the gaps between memory, place and present. From landscapes to babies, the photos represent reality as well as fantasy.

Along with photos, Sonja Thomsen also included an installation in the exhibit. Reflective panels were placed at certain heights and angles along the walls that produced rainbows on the ceiling and walls of the gallery space. The reflected rainbows have a different effect on each individual causing them to move through the gallery space in a different way. There are many different ways to view the reflection so every individual takes a different approach when walking through the show.
