Andreas Skjelde
curated by Fadlabi

Dear all,

Its my honor to present to you Andreas Skjelde (b. Voss 1985).
I asked Skjelde last year to be a part of our program at ONO and I was so glad when he agreed to produce new works for this show. Andreas is a about to earn his BA degree in May of this year from Oslo National Academy of the Arts. He works mostly with sound, video and installations.

I tried to make a small manual to help you understand his work in general. I am really excited about this show and I recommend it strongly, as it's going to be one of our best shows for this season.

A manual to break Skjelde's codes

- Personen skal filmes kontinuerlig gjennom hele oppholdet.*3
- Slike tanker var farlige, og dvelte jeg for lenge ved dem tok de livet av meg.*3
- vi må finne alternative løsninger for overlevelse, der kolonisering av vårt solsystem kanskje er livsviktig for at vi skal overleve i fremtidige generasjoner.*3
- Installasjonene benytter seg av et filmatisk språk for å danne rammeverket til en alternativ verden, en virkelighet ikke ulik vår egen.*3
- life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity.*1
- For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.*2

- Punktet der de ikke kan snu og vende tilbake til utgangspunktet da de har begrenset med drivstoff og forsyninger. Mange krysser dette punktet med håp om å finne en bedre fremtid, et sted der de kanskje kan bosette seg og starte et nytt og bedre liv.*3
