Otherworldliness, dark humor, and stark nature imagery seem to be a Norwegian staple and all is captured beautifully by Norwegian artist Rene Guneriussen's photos of incongruous household objects in the wild.
A herd of desk lamps turn their lighted heads downwards to graze in the twilight of a lonely Savannah. Two chairs battle for supremacy on a lonely beach amidst a group of helpless bystanders. A line of telephones negotiates a stony mountain pass. The images are simultaneously serene, absurd and sometimes haunting. I am always drawn to images that have both traditional beauty as far as color composition etc, but that also have the element of the unexpected...something absurd, quirky, or just some perspective that no one has ever presented before. These are the things that expand our imagination of what is possible. See Rene Guneriussen's website gallery here.
