“The singular, hovering omnipotent eye, for whom does it gaze? ”

“It starts with the gaze. In reflection, something familiar appears; our vulnerable nature is exposed. Its surfaces become an echo chamber for tonalities belonging to the fragile. In layers of blues and purples, I navigate into themes of source, time, and transience. Synchronic and interconnected, the fragments catch light, and unfold before they vanish like fireflies.”

“With the fragmented contemporary world as a starting point, Montmare explores the notions of interior and exterior landscapes, examining the relationship between humankind, natural, and spiritual realms — between the visible and the hidden, the tangible and the ephemeral — as if in a waking dream. Stitched together, it becomes something that resembles a kaleidoscope of an installation. ”

“Montmare’s way of using the island’s incredibly beautiful nature
as a backdrop for our most difficult social challenges hits us right in the gut. At first, the installation felt like stepping into something quiet and beautiful, but the longer we stood there, the more the unspoken came to light. It was as if the images whispered: Look at this, don’t turn away. Montmare opens up a space where we can grieve, yet hope for a more humane future. We left the exhibition deeply moved... this type of art is needed right now. ”
