Mai Hofstad Gunnes: Baby Snakes Hatching. Ruins. Ruins.

Photos, prints and video of snakes and their imprint.

The prints of snakes, or maybe rather the leftover from skin changes, photos of snakes, photos of rooms or buildings where snakes are not visible, but are probably there still, and a video on preserved snakes in jars. For a snakeophobic (or whatever it is called when you really do not like snakes) this is a rather shaking and disturbing exhibition, snakes seems to be present everywhere. I prefer the dead ones in a jar, but even from them a disturbing noise emerges.
