Somewhere different

Kunstplass5, Oslo
Photo manipulations and paintings

People floating in bubble wrap or in greenhouses, and a mysterious woman appearing in different exotic settings. Manipulated photos of strange worlds are the works of Kristin von Hirsch, one of the two female artists displaying their works at Kunstplass 5.What is real, what is manipulated?

The other artist, Aija Vinkelmane, is bombarding us with colourful paintings of dream landscapes and everyday settings. The mix of motives makes us wonder what is real and what is fantasy.

This is a brave mix of two very different artista, that in some strange way fit so well together.
