In November 2014, coinciding with Paris Photo, a collaborative Norwegian project opens in
Paris showing a solo exhibition with photographer Morten Andenæs,
in addition to the launch of Objektiv #10 and an artist talk between Andenæs and Lucas Blalock.
Curated by MELK and Fotogalleriet, the exhibition green apples / blue sky is the first
presentation of Morten Andenæs’ photographic works in France.
The exhibition title corresponds literally to two of the photographs on show; blue sky and green apples. The indexical nature of the title, revealing nothing but what experience subsequently will show, sets the stage for a short circuit. Simultaneously this recurring gesture mirrors photography’s condition as a reiteration or addition to reality that points to something reality is not able to articulate on its own. By explicitly stating that which otherwise might be incited through our desires and fantasies, Andenæs thwarts our capacity to freely project onto the photographs.
