Pain Solution I kunstkritikk
Flott artikkel om Håvve Fjell og Pain Solution i Kunstkritikk, skrevet av Tommy Olsson! Artikkelen en skrevet etter at Håvve valgte å avslutte sin karriere som fakir i 2021.
Tommy Olsson skriver også et fint avsnitt om mine fotografier!!
«Helene Fjell har vært i bakgrunnen med kamera like lenge og jeg har i hvert fall to fete bøker i bokhylla – Ten Years of Pain (2003) og Wings of Desire – Learning to Fly (2012). Det skulle finnes materiale til å gi ut en ny fyldig coffeetable-bok til jul hvert år for resten av våre liv.
Bildene til Helene Fjell er et event i seg selv, og henger også intimt sammen med det som har utspilt seg. De formidler det som egentlig ikke skulle være mulig, og er nærmest i et symbiotisk forhold til intensiteten i øyeblikket – og jeg trenger ikke gni det inn at det nesten uten unntak betyr djevelsk intenst. Men det er det som er igjen etter en serie øyeblikk fra de siste 28 år. «

Artist in Residence på SAGA Center of Photography 2018
In December 2018, I was lucky enough to get an Artist in Residency at SAGA center of Photography at Inderøy. Here I worked with wet plate collodion.
Wet plate collodion is a photographic technique that was developed in the midd 18th century. It is an exciting and challenging technique. I have learned the techniques from Jill Enfield from the USA. She is a master in alternative photography techniques.
The picture is made on tin or glass. There is one exposure at the time. When the plate with collodion and silver is placed in the camera, it must be exposed and developed before the chemistry has time to dry.
My stay as an artist at SAGA was an experience far beyond what I had expected. I had unique and meaningful days. It was hard work but at the same time, it was like being in a long and good meditation.
