Vilde J. Rolfsen‘s practice is based around human obsession with objects, and the relationship with them. Since she started her practice she has been observing how people relate to objects; it’s these observations she is trying to explore in her photographs.
What started as an obsession for objects has now grown into an interest for the object itself, and an obsession for taking photos of them. By choosing familiar objects that most people can relate to, Vilde creates art that can be understood and interpreted on several levels and by most people.
For the project “Plastic Bag Landscapes” she uses plastic bags found in the street. By using light and different colored cardboard, Vilde plays with perspective. When the studio lights hits the plastic and the colors shine through, the plastic bag does not look like a plastic bag anymore, but they look like an imaginary landscape.
Vilde J. Rolfsen was born in Oslo, Norway, and graduated from Kingston University with a first degree Bachelor in Fine Art Photography. Currently she attends Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
