Schema interviewsHenrik Hakansson | The Contemporary Art Gallery | Vancouver
Swedish artist HENRIK HAKANSSON's new film installation will be presented at Vancouver's Contemporary Art Gallery from Dec. 1, 2007 - Jan. 13, 2008. Hakansson has exhibited worldwide, and this is his first solo exhibition in Canada.
The piece, entitled Aug.26,2003 - Aug.27,2003 (Vespa vulgaris), documents individual wasps in flight using a specialized high-speed video camera. The video camera, typically used to collect data on growth and motion, captures the wasps' movements in slow motion (1/5 second in real time = 30 seconds of film).
Hakansson has been producing large scale sculptural and video installations since the early '90s. His pieces reveal an exploration of the cycles and patterns found in nature and how they interrelate science and art. His works often immerse the viewer into the installation and call upon the viewer to reflect on his/her relationship to nature.
