During Spring 2013, Kjellesvik made a large series of prints working with silkscreen and photogravure. The works involves self-experienced and imaginary places and expeditions. Photographical material has been processed into monochromes and expresses a symbolic history. The silkscreen prints has different color nuances while the photogravure prints are printed in black. The series of images might be interpreted as archive photos or random snapshots. Detached observations creates an in between connection. It is an attempt to handle the surroundings; the present, the past and the future. The works has references to visual mass-culture, but without making a clear conclusion. The fragments of daily situations and unfamiliar landscapes creates a sense of movement in different shapes, both mental and physical. It is the reflection of the potential of the medium as well as the documentary and the poetic works.
