Pyramiden in a book
Karen Vermeren visited last summer the place Pyramids in Spitsbergen, an empty Russian mining town, between mountains and glaciers. Abandoned houses show another time level.
A relationship develops between the thin glacier Nordenskiold in the distance, the mine site in decline and the old composition of the windows of the villa and the stripes of the old glossy wallpaper. These elements seem to slip away. The representation seems to wonder whether it will be captured as an image, or will fade.
Artist book, A5, acrylic & cut outs on plastic & paper, accompanied by a video of the artist book (hands turning the pages), 1:37 in loop.
