Wind - eye & Legends

The light of the north is different from the light in southern areas. Different lighting conditions have strong effect on our moods. Chasing the light has brought me to different places on Earth. “Wind – Eye” refers to the word “window” that originates from Norse vindr og auga (vindauge). We see the world through openings, be it a window, camera or our eyes. Are we looking through a window from outside or from inside, or do we maybe just perceive our own image reflected in the glass? What is illusion, what is reality?

 

Nordens lys er forskjellig fra lyset i sørlige områder. Ulike lysforhold har sterk innvirkning på humøret vårt. Å jakte etter lyset har ført meg til forskjellige steder på jorden. ”Wind – Eye” viser til ordet ”vindu” som stammer fra norrønt vindr og auga (vindauge). Vi ser verden gjennom åpninger, det være seg et vindu, kamera eller øynene våre. Ser vi gjennom et vindu utenfra eller fra innsiden, eller oppfatter vi kanskje bare vårt eget bilde reflektert i glasset? Hva er illusjon, hva er virkelighet?
