Selected works by the Norwegian photographer Fin Serck-Hanssen (Born 1958) can currently be seen at the Henie Onstad Art Center at Høvikodden, Norway.
The exhibition is ongoing between 24th of March and 29th of May 2011, so if you are in Oslo between these dates, get on bus 151 from Oslo Bus terminal (which departures every 15 min during daytimes) headed for Rykkinn, and get off at Høvikodden, and check it out. The trip is only 25 min, so you'll be there in no time.
Fin Serck-Hanssen had his first solo exhibition in 1983, and is still going strong.
Already in the 70s, he was working as a photographer for the Norwegian music magazine Nye Trakter, and have been working with great names as Bruce Springsteen, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Divine, FGTH and Nina Hagen - as well as more obscure punk bands.
Through his career, he has also contributed in/published a total of 6 books, wherein "Homage to Nora" in cooperation with Yoko Ono based upon Henrik Ibsens novel is one of them.
Another book-project - "Normalizing Judgement" - interpreters the Norwegian prison culture through images/artistic illustration and place descriptions of 8 Norwegian prisons. The result is a book that questions the culture, and how this aligns with the Norwegians society, and its reputation as including, understanding and forgiving.
Sadly, I yet have to get a hold of the book, so I cannot give a personal impression of it, but it can be ordered from the publisher Teknisk Industri AS
There you'll even be able to buy some of his prints unframed for the price of NOK 4.500,- (€580/$840).
Fin Serck-Hanssen is a man with a lot of interesting photographies over the years, that is for sure. Check out his galleries on his homepage.
