The image “no 1″ is the first image in a new body of work titled “Blind Shepard”. The project is pure concept art, based on long studies, thorough planning and a synthesis of many years of thinking around aesthetic questions. When the whole composition is ready in the mind of the artist, he calls his photographer, Gunnar Mjaugedal, who under thorough – but silent – instruction helps mr Christensen to visualize his projects. We will post more “Blind Shepard” images shortly.

Also Mr Christensen has, for the first time in his long artistic career, operated a camera himself. The results have been presented at a couple of venues in Norway  already, and we are pleased to post them here aswell. We present a landscape image that slowly transforms into a portrait of a chinese child. Finally the “Naxi musicians” – a collage consisting of portraits of 8 traditional musicians in China, mounted so they surround an image of the highway leading in to Beijing. The fog in the mountains of Li Jang and Beijing ties the motifs together in a fragile filter, in which the opposites are tied together in one unit.
