About:

Different figures, some familiar, some more obscure, are floating around in a space without horizon. The man with too many balls in his head, and his pitch machine, the coffee grinder from Duchamp. It is a flexible work that can grow and fit many walls and make different constalations. The title is inspired by the Painter Francis Picabia. He uses this title on a painting in 1915: Very Rare Pictures Upon This Earth. This series evolved over 4 years, and ended up as a public art project at Osterøy Secondary School. Art Consultant was Mikkel Wettre.
