About this artwork
Rognlis symbolism points to an ancient Sami culture. We see deer in the fog landscape and a lone Lavvu located at the intersection where the snowy plains meets the sky. The crimson river, flowing through the forest is the starting point for the art film “Behind the silver withs” appear simultaneously. Throughout the film takes Rognli up how the Sami culture was overrun and destroyed during the assimilation process in Norway. The two faces peering…
out from the moss-covered stone can be considered as a point of contact for the dialectic between old Sami cultural absence and presence. An absence represents a sorrow for all they have lost, while the presence stated in that they directly address the viewer through eye contact.
