Bergen og vann hører sammen og spesielt vann som beveger seg ovenfra og ned. Da jeg jobbet med boken BERGEN Arkitektur og historier, tenkte jeg at fontenene i Bergen sentrum måtte få sitt eget kapittel. Det ble til fem bilder i en serie kalt Waters of Bergen, som alle har en symmetri rundt rennende vann.
Waters of Bergen 3 er kanskje det sterkeste bildet i denne serien. Jeg har hatt flere utstillinger med bergensbildene mine og besøkende sier ofte at dette bildet gir dem ro.
Motivet er fra trappene oppover mot Johanneskirken i Bergen, tilbake i 2019. Min tanke var å fokusere på vannet og tone ned omgivelsene. Kanskje er det når vi klarer å fokusere på det vesentlige og filtrere bort resten at vi finner roen?
English:
Bergen and water belong together, and especially water moving from above and down. When I was working on my book BERGEN Architecture and Stories, I felt that the fountains in central Bergen deserved a chapter of their own. This became five images in a series called Waters of Bergen, all of which have a symmetry centered around flowing water.
Waters of Bergen 3 is perhaps the strongest image in the series. I have had several exhibitions featuring my photographs of Bergen, and visitors often tell me that this particular image gives them a sense of calm.
The photograph was taken on the steps leading up towards St John’s Church (Johanneskirken) in Bergen, back in 2019. My intention was to focus on the water and tone down the surroundings. Perhaps it is when we manage to focus on what is essential and filter out everything else that we find a sense of peace?

Sizes of A3 and A2 will be printed by me on Canson Fine Art paper. The type of paper may alter, depending on the motive. Bigger sizes and materials like aluminium and plexiglass/glass will be done externally by professional printer companies. For international deliveries, we can use printing companies from any preferred country in order to save postage and time. Price is for print only.
