About the Exhibition
Slovenian artist Andrej Lamut works with analogue and experimental photography, using the medium as an expressive form that goes beyond traditional mimetic methods.
His work mainly focuses on the performative act, encompassing all stages of the creative process. He explores themes of uncertainty and borderline states of consciousness.
In Dividing by Zero, Lamut creates a site-specific experience where logic dissolves. The photographs seem absurd, evoking unease, and function as pieces of a puzzle revealing a metaphysical world of phobias and intrusive thoughts. Modular walls and podiums in the space shape how the work is
viewed, forcing the audience to observe the images from specific angles and preventing a full view of the entire collection at once.
The exhibition is curated by Nina Worren.

About the artist
Andrej Lamut (b. 1991, SLO) lives and works between Gothenburg and Ljubljana. Lamut works at the intersection of photography and material experimentation, pushing the
medium beyond its conventional representational limits. His practice is rooted in the performative act, involving not only image-making but also material selection, printing techniques, and spatial presentation. Through this, he explores themes of unfamiliarity, liminal states, and the unrecognizability of objects.
Lamut’s work challenges perception and invites engagement with paradoxes and metaphysical ambiguities. His projects resist simple interpretation, often employing analogue processes, alternative printing methods, and artist books.
Lamut holds a Master of Fine Arts in Photography at HDK-Valand, Gothenburg, Sweden (2023-25), and a degree in Visual Communication from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. He was part of the PARALLEL—European Photo Based Platform, through which he exhibited at FORMAT Festival
(UK), Organ Vida (Croatia), and the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center (Hungary). He was shortlisted for the Emerging Photographer of the Year Award at Photo London 2022

Between Photographs and Texts
Production and Editing Workshop with Sara Aue Sobol
Copenhagen
June 6–8, 2025
"I want to share my experience with writing—how it began for me, and the authors who continue to inspire me, from both photography and literature. I see a red thread running through the Nordic art scene: in literature, it's called autofiction; in photography, diary images; and in cinema, realism. During the workshop, participants will engage in writing exercises that support and deepen the narrative in their visual work."
— Sara Aue Sobol
About the Workshop
This three-day workshop is designed to inspire and strengthen each participant’s ability to find a distinct personal voice in photography. It’s for those who want to explore photography as a visual poem, weaving together images and words to build intimate, narrative-driven bodies of work.
Unfinished Processes - Beginner's Mind
with Sara Skorgan Teigen & Nina Worren
1 May - 4 May in Copenhagen
BOOK LAUNCH of Jeanne Lehmanns new photobook "One" 22.02.25 from 12-17
Jeanne’s photobook “One” is a deeply personal yet universal exploration of strength, vulnerability, and resilience, captured through her photography and intimate storytelling. Through 24 intimate pages of powerful photography, layered textures, and hand-stitched binding, this work invites readers to reflect on the cycles, strength, and beauty of feminine experience.
At the event, Jeanne will serve freshly brewed tea (in a variety of flavors) alongside her own homemade baked goods. Guests are welcome to bring their own cup, though some will be available on-site.
It will be possible to purchase the book on Jeanne’s webshop, and likely via MobilePay as well.
Please note: To experience the book fully, the suture knot must be carefully cut open. Jeanne recommends using a small herb knife or scissors to reveal the pages and immerse yourself in the story.
During the event, the bookstore at NW Gallery will be showcasing a curated selection of works. You're welcome to browse and explore. Each piece presented during the book launch complements the themes of “One”, centering around the female experience, femininity, body, and womanhood.
This is an afternoon to connect, explore, and celebrate art in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Sara Aue Sobol’s Tell My Love Now weaves together two distinct winter journeys, separated by time and place but mirroring and informed by each other in her experience of them. As Sobol’s husband faced a challenging moment of his life, it became a catalyst for Sara to look back on the photographs she had taken in Russia years earlier, from a time when the country was more open. Through that process, she began reflecting on the evolution of her bond with Jacob, viewing the images as a lens through which to embrace both their past and present love story.
These photographs gave Sara a way to try to understand and connect with her husband, who in some ways had been taken to a distant world. At the same time, it gave her a new perspective on her prior work in Russia, itself an exploration of a country on the cusp of disappearing.
Both journeys--healing from a depression and her travels in Russia--explore a longing for closeness.
Through a combination of text and images, portraits and everyday stories, Sobol’s work explores both outer and inner landscapes and the struggle to keep our minds free in the face of repression, whether personal or collective, and celebrates the complexity of love.
The book is co-published TIS Books and Sobol Books
Editor: Sun Hee Engelstoft
The book is available in the gallery book store and online.

The Exposed Eye #1
by Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand, published by Sailor Press
During a breezy sea vacation, we entered into an agreement that over the next year, we would embark on a shared game. The game was to give each other assignments that were formulated: “Do something about…” The ellipses were to be replaced with something one of us thought the other should take on. The assignment, once completed, contained the seed for the next one, and it would continue in this vein until it somehow came to an end. We started with a man who was called Raftworks Abrahamsson and moved around after that in realities and escapisms, among children, X-rays, deserted houses, archives, sorrows, photo labs, sadists, harbor towns, slaughterhouses, amusement parks, dreams, coffins, and cyclo-
pes. We impacted life and were impacted by life. We traveled to Vindeln, to Paris, to Helsinki, and in time. We mixed together and were mixed together. The result of those completed assignments can be found in the book
This is not an ordinary book release, but one where the visitor/reader is given an assignment. The contributions we receive will be part of our exhibition at Alingsås Konsthall (January 25-May 10) and may also end up in our next bookThe Exposed Eye #2,to be published by Sailor Press autumn 2025.
About the Artists and Their Collaboration
Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand share a background in photography as the core of their artistic practices. In recent years, both have increasingly incorporated text into their works. Works that has been presented in books and exhibitions. Helga Härenstam’s projects often explores associative, experimental, and humorous narratives, sometimes tinged with a dark reflection on life and chance. Anna Strand, on the other hand, frequently draws upon archival materials as a starting point. These archives, often personal and seemingly ordinary at first glance, become crucial in her process of questioning and shaping alternative narratives.In the projectThe Exposed Eyethey have met in a desire to open up to the unexpected and to what arises in the conversation between two related, yet different artists and lives.

Welcome <3
"James’ House is my second book in The Greenland Trilogy. My first book Sabine from 2004 was a love story, and so is James’ House. It’s about my love and admiration for an Inuit man and his continuous fight to provide for his family. The story takes place from 1999-2002 when I lived in Eastern Greenland trying to become a hunter and a fisherman while taking pictures of the life I shared with the people living there. James was my friend when I lived in Tiniteqilaaq. He taught me how to spot seals and use the tools of a hunter. He taught me when to speak and when to be silent. How to be present. For the years I was in Tiniteqilaaq, James’ House seemed like the center of the universe. It was a house full of laughter, crying and silence. A place of warmth and embrace. Today James doesn’t live in the house anymore. James’ wife passed away and he moved with his children to the nearest town, Tasiilaq. This book is a memory of the time and love I shared with James and his children.
Published by Super Labo in Tokyo in collaboration with Sobol Books. Edited by Sun Hee Engelstoft.
During the exhibition period it will be possible to purchase copies of the book together with prints.

“As we choose to no longer stand behind the camera, we do still hear the shutter being triggered at our
release; but all our eyes can remember is that imprinted afterimage”
UCS/Scandinavia
Today, unimaginable numbers of selfies are being produced with our phones for social media - all those we see and all those we never see.
However, the presentation of ourselves in photographic self-portraits is something that goes far back in time. The first photographic self-portrait we know is believed to have been made by Robert Cornelius in 1839 and several well-known artists began to use this form early in his artistic practice: Edvard Munch, Edgar Degas, Andy Warhol, Ilse Bing, Francesca Woodman.
In the exhibition, the artists explore what the photographic self-portrait can do. The self-portrait is a tool for staging oneself as a subject and / or object. It can be used to create persona, alter ego and symbolic icons. It can be fiction, concept based and it can be personally documentary, skinless and honest like a diary.
By placing yourself both in front of and behind the camera, the artist can explore their own relationship to, for example, family, history and heritage. It can help the artist to accept the world, time, the course of life and own destiny, memories, themes, and emotions from one's own life. The process of creating self-portraits can help the artist become better acquainted with the self both physically and mentally and thus develop the creative sides and self-esteem. We see that the photographic self-portrait is a very powerful and used tool today because it helps the artist to stand out, take a stand and stand by the self, gender, identity and existence in our society.

Copenhagen Photofestival June 2021
Thank you to Copenhagen Photofestival for inviting Julia Mejnertsen/Blankt Papir.& Nina Worren/NW Gallery to curate photobook exhibition, talks and the first ever photobook market at this years festival at Refshaleøen.
ROOM
We call the photobook area of this year’s festival “ROOM” as a nod to the important feminist work “A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf. In “A Room of One’s Own” Woolf argues simply that the lack of female representation is not due to lack of talent, but rather lack of opportunity. The photobook area of this year’s festival gives ROOM to photobook talks, photobook market and a curated photobook-shop.
Soft Power – The Second Phase of Photobooks – a curated photobook exhibition and shop
The winds of change have been blowing for some time, but that doesn’t mean that the issue of representation is solved and with this year’s curated bookshop, we wish to push for further opportunities to be created by sharing some of the amazing and important photobooks made by women in recent years. Works that we find empowering and which have made an impression on us. This is by no means an exhaustive collection, but rather a window into a room of personal expressions.
Photobook Exhibition
Soft Power - the second phase of photobooks.
“Soft power as opposed to hard power are both terms used in politics. Soft power represents a way of getting a desired outcome by seduction rather than coercion, and is often associated with for instance cultural and pop cultural influences. Soft power is thus a term defined by softer values. What soft power represents is culture for everyone, and we believe that photobooks can be enjoyed by everyone. It doesn’t take an art education to enjoy pictures, visual narratives and personal stories - and just as important, everyone has a story to tell. In politics, soft power is also termed “the second face of power” (i.e. hard power being the first), and as the photobook market continues to bloom, we believe that the second phase of photobooks are photobooks made by voices that have previously been neglected. While this shop is focused on women, we believe that works by a more diverse group should be strived for - we wish to see works by transgender, queer, diverse cultures and nationalities all the same. In our curation, you’ll find works dealing with everything from beauty industry to connecting with nature, motherhood and the lack of - whether by choice or not, and about memories of love and loss.”
Including phenomenal book works for browsing and for sale by Laia Abril, Katherine Longly, Ann Massal, Lise Saxtrup, Margot Wallard, Lisbet Nielsen, Nina Strand, Janemaria Mekoline Pedersen, Linda Bergman, Giulia Iacolutti, Paola Favoino, Katinka Goldberg and Claudine Doury.

NW Gallery presents
Like Purity, Like Gravity
a solo exhibition by
Carolina Echeverri
05.06.-26.06.21.
Carolina Echeverri's solo exhibition Like Purity, Like Gravity pushes for our understanding of nature and re-formulates our relationship with it.
In a series of photographic diptychs and a sound installation, Echeverri explores the purity related to innocence contained in natural attributes, in instinct and qualities related to religion, culture, gender and identity connected to nature. When we remove the natural chaos and the beautiful freedom we were born into, and then create a fabricated, controlled and manipulated disorder disguised as a tainted idea of order, human beings will innocently lose their compass.
Carolina Echeverri wants to reset our relationship with nature, by showing it as it is - or as it may be without our intervention. The child's leg under the dress belongs to her son, and it was precisely this photograph that started her study of nature and man as two separate beings, trying to dominate each other in an eternal dance.
Carolina Echeverri was born in 1980 in Bogotá, Colombia, with schooling in the capital and all her free time spent on her father's farm far outside the city. The free and unruly nature became her playmate, who has then followed her all her life and shaped her view on the world.
She has previously participated in group exhibitions at e.g. Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Hans Alf Gallery, and the exhibition at NW Gallery is her first solo exhibition in Copenhagen. In 2019, she was featured in GUP Magazine “Fresh Eyes” as one of the best emerging photographers in Europe, and in 2021, the Latin America Photography Foundation and Enfoque Visual Magazine named her as one of 30 recommended new Latin American photographers.
She lives in Copenhagen with her husband and two children. See her works at www.carolinaecheverri.com.

Welcome <3
"James’ House is my second book in The Greenland Trilogy. My first book Sabine from 2004 was a love story, and so is James’ House. It’s about my love and admiration for an Inuit man and his continuous fight to provide for his family. The story takes place from 1999-2002 when I lived in Eastern Greenland trying to become a hunter and a fisherman while taking pictures of the life I shared with the people living there. James was my friend when I lived in Tiniteqilaaq. He taught me how to spot seals and use the tools of a hunter. He taught me when to speak and when to be silent. How to be present. For the years I was in Tiniteqilaaq, James’ House seemed like the center of the universe. It was a house full of laughter, crying and silence. A place of warmth and embrace. Today James doesn’t live in the house anymore. James’ wife passed away and he moved with his children to the nearest town, Tasiilaq. This book is a memory of the time and love I shared with James and his children.
Published by Super Labo in Tokyo in collaboration with Sobol Books. Edited by Sun Hee Engelstoft.
During the exhibition period it will be possible to purchase copies of the book together with prints.

“As we choose to no longer stand behind the camera, we do still hear the shutter being triggered at our

UCS/Scandinavia
Today, unimaginable numbers of selfies are being produced with our phones for social media - all those we see and all those we never see.
However, the presentation of ourselves in photographic self-portraits is something that goes far back in time. The first photographic self-portrait we know is believed to have been made by Robert Cornelius in 1839 and several well-known artists began to use this form early in his artistic practice: Edvard Munch, Edgar Degas, Andy Warhol, Ilse Bing, Francesca Woodman.
In the exhibition, the artists explore what the photographic self-portrait can do. The self-portrait is a tool for staging oneself as a subject and / or object. It can be used to create persona, alter ego and symbolic icons. It can be fiction, concept based and it can be personally documentary, skinless and honest like a diary.
By placing yourself both in front of and behind the camera, the artist can explore their own relationship to, for example, family, history and heritage. It can help the artist to accept the world, time, the course of life and own destiny, memories, themes, and emotions from one's own life. The process of creating self-portraits can help the artist become better acquainted with the self both physically and mentally and thus develop the creative sides and self-esteem. We see that the photographic self-portrait is a very powerful and used tool today because it helps the artist to stand out, take a stand and stand by the self, gender, identity and existence in our society.

Copenhagen Photofestival June 2021
Thank you to Copenhagen Photofestival for inviting Julia Mejnertsen/Blankt Papir.& Nina Worren/NW Gallery to curate photobook exhibition, talks and the first ever photobook market at this years festival at Refshaleøen.
ROOM
We call the photobook area of this year’s festival “ROOM” as a nod to the important feminist work “A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf. In “A Room of One’s Own” Woolf argues simply that the lack of female representation is not due to lack of talent, but rather lack of opportunity. The photobook area of this year’s festival gives ROOM to photobook talks, photobook market and a curated photobook-shop.
Soft Power – The Second Phase of Photobooks – a curated photobook exhibition and shop
The winds of change have been blowing for some time, but that doesn’t mean that the issue of representation is solved and with this year’s curated bookshop, we wish to push for further opportunities to be created by sharing some of the amazing and important photobooks made by women in recent years. Works that we find empowering and which have made an impression on us. This is by no means an exhaustive collection, but rather a window into a room of personal expressions.
Photobook Exhibition
Soft Power - the second phase of photobooks.
“Soft power as opposed to hard power are both terms used in politics. Soft power represents a way of getting a desired outcome by seduction rather than coercion, and is often associated with for instance cultural and pop cultural influences. Soft power is thus a term defined by softer values. What soft power represents is culture for everyone, and we believe that photobooks can be enjoyed by everyone. It doesn’t take an art education to enjoy pictures, visual narratives and personal stories - and just as important, everyone has a story to tell. In politics, soft power is also termed “the second face of power” (i.e. hard power being the first), and as the photobook market continues to bloom, we believe that the second phase of photobooks are photobooks made by voices that have previously been neglected. While this shop is focused on women, we believe that works by a more diverse group should be strived for - we wish to see works by transgender, queer, diverse cultures and nationalities all the same. In our curation, you’ll find works dealing with everything from beauty industry to connecting with nature, motherhood and the lack of - whether by choice or not, and about memories of love and loss.”
Including phenomenal book works for browsing and for sale by Laia Abril, Katherine Longly, Ann Massal, Lise Saxtrup, Margot Wallard, Lisbet Nielsen, Nina Strand, Janemaria Mekoline Pedersen, Linda Bergman, Giulia Iacolutti, Paola Favoino, Katinka Goldberg and Claudine Doury.

NW Gallery presents
Like Purity, Like Gravity
a solo exhibition by
Carolina Echeverri
05.06.-26.06.21.
Carolina Echeverri's solo exhibition Like Purity, Like Gravity pushes for our understanding of nature and re-formulates our relationship with it.
In a series of photographic diptychs and a sound installation, Echeverri explores the purity related to innocence contained in natural attributes, in instinct and qualities related to religion, culture, gender and identity connected to nature. When we remove the natural chaos and the beautiful freedom we were born into, and then create a fabricated, controlled and manipulated disorder disguised as a tainted idea of order, human beings will innocently lose their compass.
Carolina Echeverri wants to reset our relationship with nature, by showing it as it is - or as it may be without our intervention. The child's leg under the dress belongs to her son, and it was precisely this photograph that started her study of nature and man as two separate beings, trying to dominate each other in an eternal dance.
Carolina Echeverri was born in 1980 in Bogotá, Colombia, with schooling in the capital and all her free time spent on her father's farm far outside the city. The free and unruly nature became her playmate, who has then followed her all her life and shaped her view on the world.
She has previously participated in group exhibitions at e.g. Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Hans Alf Gallery, and the exhibition at NW Gallery is her first solo exhibition in Copenhagen. In 2019, she was featured in GUP Magazine “Fresh Eyes” as one of the best emerging photographers in Europe, and in 2021, the Latin America Photography Foundation and Enfoque Visual Magazine named her as one of 30 recommended new Latin American photographers.
She lives in Copenhagen with her husband and two children. See her works at www.carolinaecheverri.com.
We are thrilled to invite you to this upcoming workshop

BOOK LAUNCH of Jeanne Lehmanns new photobook "One" 22.02.25 from 12-17
Jeanne’s photobook “One” is a deeply personal yet universal exploration of strength, vulnerability, and resilience, captured through her photography and intimate storytelling. Through 24 intimate pages of powerful photography, layered textures, and hand-stitched binding, this work invites readers to reflect on the cycles, strength, and beauty of feminine experience.
At the event, Jeanne will serve freshly brewed tea (in a variety of flavors) alongside her own homemade baked goods. Guests are welcome to bring their own cup, though some will be available on-site.
It will be possible to purchase the book on Jeanne’s webshop, and likely via MobilePay as well.
Please note: To experience the book fully, the suture knot must be carefully cut open. Jeanne recommends using a small herb knife or scissors to reveal the pages and immerse yourself in the story.
During the event, the bookstore at NW Gallery will be showcasing a curated selection of works. You're welcome to browse and explore. Each piece presented during the book launch complements the themes of “One”, centering around the female experience, femininity, body, and womanhood.
This is an afternoon to connect, explore, and celebrate art in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Pop Up Exhibition & Book Release
of Tell My Love Now by Sara Aue Sobol
Opening 9.1 from 17-19
The doors are also open:
10.1 12-17
11.1 12-15
12.1 12-15
Sara Aue Sobol’s Tell My Love Now weaves together two distinct winter journeys, separated by time and place but mirroring and informed by each other in her experience of them. As Sobol’s husband faced a challenging moment of his life, it became a catalyst for Sara to look back on the photographs she had taken in Russia years earlier, from a time when the country was more open. Through that process, she began reflecting on the evolution of her bond with Jacob, viewing the images as a lens through which to embrace both their past and present love story.
These photographs gave Sara a way to try to understand and connect with her husband, who in some ways had been taken to a distant world. At the same time, it gave her a new perspective on her prior work in Russia, itself an exploration of a country on the cusp of disappearing.
Both journeys--healing from a depression and her travels in Russia--explore a longing for closeness.
Through a combination of text and images, portraits and everyday stories, Sobol’s work explores both outer and inner landscapes and the struggle to keep our minds free in the face of repression, whether personal or collective, and celebrates the complexity of love.
The book is co-published TIS Books and Sobol Books
Editor: Sun Hee Engelstoft
The book is available in the gallery book store and online.

The Exposed Eye #1
by Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand, published by Sailor Press
During a breezy sea vacation, we entered into an agreement that over the next year, we would embark on a shared game. The game was to give each other assignments that were formulated: “Do something about…” The ellipses were to be replaced with something one of us thought the other should take on. The assignment, once completed, contained the seed for the next one, and it would continue in this vein until it somehow came to an end. We started with a man who was called Raftworks Abrahamsson and moved around after that in realities and escapisms, among children, X-rays, deserted houses, archives, sorrows, photo labs, sadists, harbor towns, slaughterhouses, amusement parks, dreams, coffins, and cyclo-
pes. We impacted life and were impacted by life. We traveled to Vindeln, to Paris, to Helsinki, and in time. We mixed together and were mixed together. The result of those completed assignments can be found in the book
This is not an ordinary book release, but one where the visitor/reader is given an assignment. The contributions we receive will be part of our exhibition at Alingsås Konsthall (January 25-May 10) and may also end up in our next bookThe Exposed Eye #2,to be published by Sailor Press autumn 2025.
About the Artists and Their Collaboration
Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand share a background in photography as the core of their artistic practices. In recent years, both have increasingly incorporated text into their works. Works that has been presented in books and exhibitions. Helga Härenstam’s projects often explores associative, experimental, and humorous narratives, sometimes tinged with a dark reflection on life and chance. Anna Strand, on the other hand, frequently draws upon archival materials as a starting point. These archives, often personal and seemingly ordinary at first glance, become crucial in her process of questioning and shaping alternative narratives.In the projectThe Exposed Eyethey have met in a desire to open up to the unexpected and to what arises in the conversation between two related, yet different artists and lives.
Opening Friday November 1st from 17 – 20
NW Gallery is excited to invite you to our next exhibition with a group of Nordic artists:

Copenhagen Photofestival June 2021
Thank you to Copenhagen Photofestival for inviting Julia Mejnertsen/Blankt Papir.& Nina Worren/NW Gallery to curate photobook exhibition, talks and the first ever photobook market at this years festival at Refshaleøen.
ROOM
We call the photobook area of this year’s festival “ROOM” as a nod to the important feminist work “A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf. In “A Room of One’s Own” Woolf argues simply that the lack of female representation is not due to lack of talent, but rather lack of opportunity. The photobook area of this year’s festival gives ROOM to photobook talks, photobook market and a curated photobook-shop.
Soft Power – The Second Phase of Photobooks – a curated photobook exhibition and shop
The winds of change have been blowing for some time, but that doesn’t mean that the issue of representation is solved and with this year’s curated bookshop, we wish to push for further opportunities to be created by sharing some of the amazing and important photobooks made by women in recent years. Works that we find empowering and which have made an impression on us. This is by no means an exhaustive collection, but rather a window into a room of personal expressions.
Photobook Exhibition
Soft Power - the second phase of photobooks.
“Soft power as opposed to hard power are both terms used in politics. Soft power represents a way of getting a desired outcome by seduction rather than coercion, and is often associated with for instance cultural and pop cultural influences. Soft power is thus a term defined by softer values. What soft power represents is culture for everyone, and we believe that photobooks can be enjoyed by everyone. It doesn’t take an art education to enjoy pictures, visual narratives and personal stories - and just as important, everyone has a story to tell. In politics, soft power is also termed “the second face of power” (i.e. hard power being the first), and as the photobook market continues to bloom, we believe that the second phase of photobooks are photobooks made by voices that have previously been neglected. While this shop is focused on women, we believe that works by a more diverse group should be strived for - we wish to see works by transgender, queer, diverse cultures and nationalities all the same. In our curation, you’ll find works dealing with everything from beauty industry to connecting with nature, motherhood and the lack of - whether by choice or not, and about memories of love and loss.”
Including phenomenal book works for browsing and for sale by Laia Abril, Katherine Longly, Ann Massal, Lise Saxtrup, Margot Wallard, Lisbet Nielsen, Nina Strand, Janemaria Mekoline Pedersen, Linda Bergman, Giulia Iacolutti, Paola Favoino, Katinka Goldberg and Claudine Doury.

NW Gallery presents
Like Purity, Like Gravity
a solo exhibition by
Carolina Echeverri
05.06.-26.06.21.
Carolina Echeverri's solo exhibition Like Purity, Like Gravity pushes for our understanding of nature and re-formulates our relationship with it.
In a series of photographic diptychs and a sound installation, Echeverri explores the purity related to innocence contained in natural attributes, in instinct and qualities related to religion, culture, gender and identity connected to nature. When we remove the natural chaos and the beautiful freedom we were born into, and then create a fabricated, controlled and manipulated disorder disguised as a tainted idea of order, human beings will innocently lose their compass.
Carolina Echeverri wants to reset our relationship with nature, by showing it as it is - or as it may be without our intervention. The child's leg under the dress belongs to her son, and it was precisely this photograph that started her study of nature and man as two separate beings, trying to dominate each other in an eternal dance.
Carolina Echeverri was born in 1980 in Bogotá, Colombia, with schooling in the capital and all her free time spent on her father's farm far outside the city. The free and unruly nature became her playmate, who has then followed her all her life and shaped her view on the world.
She has previously participated in group exhibitions at e.g. Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Hans Alf Gallery, and the exhibition at NW Gallery is her first solo exhibition in Copenhagen. In 2019, she was featured in GUP Magazine “Fresh Eyes” as one of the best emerging photographers in Europe, and in 2021, the Latin America Photography Foundation and Enfoque Visual Magazine named her as one of 30 recommended new Latin American photographers.
She lives in Copenhagen with her husband and two children. See her works at www.carolinaecheverri.com.
We are participating at a new Artist Book fair in Tokyo organised by Reminders Photography Stronghold (www.reminders-project.org).

"URO"
Solo Exhibition with Cecilie N. Rasmussens
It is also the first AIR (Artist In Residency) Exhibition at NW Gallery & The Project Room in Nansensgade 10.
In July 2020 we launched our AIR program focusing on female artists working with mental health as personal projects and Cecilie N. Rasmussen were chosen and has immersed into her project at our space during the autumn.
This exhibition will show fragments of her ongoing project experimenting in the study of human behaviour:
***
URO
- “Uro” has a dual meaning of the feeling of unrest and the calming sensory mobile for babies.
You are invited into the home of a person with a mental illness. This intimate space becomes a self portrait of the balance between a safe, secure area, where thoughts, feelings and routine are unexposed to others than yourself. On the other hand it is simultaneously a paradox of a gross, filthy and stressed reminder of the faulty wiring in your brain which can be difficult to escape. The home is representative of personal traces and fragments of a life.
There will also be an interactive installation inspired by association as thought and the rhizome.
19.11.20 Special opening - only for personally invited guests.
OPENING HOURS:
Friday 20.11.20 16-19
Saturday 21.11.20 12-15
Sunday 22.11.20 12-15
Monday Closed
Tuesday 24.11.20 16-19
Wednesday 25.11.20 13-17 (last day)
The AIR program is kindly supported by København Kommune/Direktør Michael Hermann Nielsens Mindelegat, afd B.

COMPLEX STATES
We are excited about being one of the contributing venues to the exhibition “Complex States”.
“Complex States” is an international exhibition that comes as a
timely and urgent response to both the divisive events of “Brexit” and the “Covid-19”
pandemic. With more than 30 international artists, 13 venues and a cutting edge
augmented reality platform, the exhibition will run
until the 31st of December 2020 when the Brexit process draws to a close.
As an exhibition
that traverses nations, as well as the physical and virtual, Complex States offers a platform
for renewed trans-national dialogue, collaboration and cultural exchange.
Curated by Catherine Harrington and Vassiliki Tzanakou - the founder of ARTinTRA in cooperation with the software company afca. based in Bern.
NW Gallery will exhibit works by Eliza Tamo.
Other contributing artists:
Zish Alexander, David Bannister, Jan Bowman, Jason deCaires-Taylor, Michael Craig-Martin, Jeremy Deller, Led By Donkeys, Rita Duffy, Ben Jakober and Yannick VU, Stephane Graff, Lara Hoad, Michal Iwanowski, Henry Jones, Keep It

As part of the exhibition “Complex States” we proudly present the project Murmur by artist Eliza Tamo (UK):
A collection of antique pre WWI picture postcards which combine the original inscriptions of the writers with seascapes of the two bodies of water that separate and unite Great Britain with the European mainland photographed between 2016-2018.
Her work draws on history, power, memory, chance and the mundane. She uses photography, collage, text and repurposed materials to play with the notion of the archive both in a theoretical and tactile way.
The 13 unique postcards will be on display at the gallery until December 20th.
