In the solo exhibition at Trykkeriet Rebecca Krasnik explores perceptions of time in an accelerated, digitalized world.
The exhibition takes its starting point with the horse as a subject and the role it has had in Norse Mythology in relation to the passing of time. With a contemporary depiction of Skinfaxi and Hrimfaxi, the two horses that rides across the sky during day and night accordingly, the exhibition questions how screens and digital images affect our cyclical rhythm and relations to time in society today.
The silk screen prints in the exhibition depict 3D computer-generated objects of horses. In the process the images go from digital to analogue, from screen to paper, from an immaterial image to a material and tactile print.
All works were produced during Rebecca Krasnik’s artist in residency at Trykkeriet.
Rebecca Krasnik has received additional support for this residency from Knud Højgaard’s Foundation and Louis-Hansen Foundation.
Rebecca Krasnik (1987) works between photography and computer-generated images. She places her images in artists books and sculptural installations, contrasting a bodily experience with digital representations of time and space.
With her work, that combines new computer technology and old printing techniques, she lets echoes from the past shed light on how technological developments continue to change the ways we create and interact with images today.
Most recently Rebecca Krasnik has shown her work in solo exhibitions at the House of The Danish Printmaker Association in Copenhagen (2023), Greene House Gallery in New York (2022) and at Galleri Image in Aarhus (2021). Recent group exhibitions include Field Projects in New York (2024), and AGA Works and TITLED in Copenhagen (2024).
