LOVING SOFT ROSE
Birgitte Munk and Vibeke Jerichau

Motifs of Nordic windows meet with the women of the Middle East. Plants and curtains are overlapping the floral-patterned fabrics.
Birgitte Munk and Vibeke Jerichau challenge each other in a mixture of the memory and the current, from their individual photographic stock.

Based on existing photogravure printing, transparencies and printing plates coupled with color surfaces, new unexplained image compositions are created.

In the meeting between the individual stories and senses, a dialogue for free interpretation arises, not absolutely clarified or explained. More like an open narrative.

In the individual series, the focus is on the cactus plant, as we have met it in botanical gardens, private gardens or out at its natural habitats. Not that it is a very inviting plant with its prickly thorns, but challenging in shape and structure.

Mirleft Night by Vibeke Jerichau is a series of color photogravure works. The lens are zoomed in on details of the city's spaces and architectural structures.

Private Garden/Public Garden, Peru by Birgitte Munk.
The gaze seeks collections of plants, pots and ordinary everyday objects that people have decorated and arranged. Or that has organized itself as a 'still life' motif. Inkjet Print on Hahnemühle Photo Matt Fiber, 2021.
