In water, on it, below or sideways Linda Cartridge she comes up with her
mental eye and technology by creating spaces of vitality and poetic suggestion.
For a year and a half the artist was submerged in pools with different
models for an experience of prenatal, primary and basic. The works are intended
to attract viewers to the female germ broth has created. It is an invitation to
return to float with the intention to suggest freedom of the primitive, that
they only have the fluids of the fetus and mother, it should perhaps be felt in
the original big bang, creating cracks, breaks and new rebirths.
Venus floating is a sample of photographs taken in Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Oslo which exceeds, in the way of work, the genre. Using analog photography made films as a first material, manual intervention will subsequently work on the negatives, photo by photo on camera, on camera, resulting in works based on the picture and end up in other genres.
Her iconic Hasselblad is like a pencil with which Boceta basic lines of the final photos. Craft touches and some digital intervention timely, necessary poetry reaches to say what you mean. She has succeeded in changing the medium, leaving the air by the mother liquor, leading to feminine strength, subtle and without interruption at release sites where we seem to have been to.

En el agua, sobre ella, debajo o de costado Linda Cartridge se nos
aparece con su ojo mental y tecnológico creando espacios de vitalidad y de
sugerencia poética. Durante un año y medio la artista se ha sumergido en diferentes
piscinas con sus modelos para vivir una experiencia prenatal, primaria y
básica. Los trabajos tienen la intención de atraer al espectador a ese caldo
femenino germinal que ha logrado crear. Es la invitación a volver a flotar con
la intención de sugerir la libertad de lo primigenio, aquella que solo tienen
los fluídos del feto y su madre, la misma que quizás debió palparse en el big
bang original, crujidos de creación, de rupturas y nuevos renacimientos.
Venus flotante es una muestra de fotografías tomadas en Buenos Aires,
Montevideo y Oslo que superan ampliamente, por el modo de trabajo, el género
fotográfico. Utilizando la fotografía analógica hecha con
películas de cine como primer material, trabaja posteriormente con intervención
manual sobre los negativos, haciendo foto sobre foto, cámara sobre cámara,
resultando así obras que parten de la fotografía y terminan en otros géneros.
Su icónica Hasselblad es como un lápiz básico con
el cual boceta las líneas de las fotos finales. Con toques artesanales y alguna
intervención digital oportuna, llega a la poesía necesaria para decir lo que
quiere decir. Ha logrado cambiar el medio, dejando el aire por el líquido
madre, llevándonos con fuerza femenina, sutil y sin interrupción, a espacios de
liberación donde nos parece haber estado ya.

Fra
Las Calles-beyond the surface.
Nå viser jeg deler av
serien i mitt nye atelier i Prinsensgate 19 i Sandefjord.
Onsdag 20 juni klokka 19.00 vil jeg fortelle om bydelen San Telmo i Buenos Aires
og bakgrunnen for ideen til bildene. Jeg vil også presentere hvordan jeg har
kommet frem til dette fotografiske uttrykket hvor jeg fotograferer med
spillefilm og tegner på negativene.
