Rune Guneriussen is one of my favourite modern photographers. Born and raised in Norway, his photos usually involve the vast Norwegian natural landscape, mixed with various man-made products and structures. Though the contrast between the subjects and the setting is evident, he is able to synthesize the two to a point where the unnatural segments seamlessly blend together with the natural. The installations themselves are never exhibited to an audience, only the photographs.
"The objects are implemented mainly in scenes cast in appropriate landscapes, and here they are subject to a certain character carefully laying out a story. It is an approach to the balance between nature and culture, but also a multiple reading of stories."
I absolutely agree with his method of presentation. From what you've showed us, there is a haunted quality to his art that only his photography can capture (as opposed to an installation peice). Thumbs up.
