:

The portrait of the polar explorer Nansen was a site-specific mural created for an exhibition in Berlin. The building where the exhibition took place was named after Nansens infamous ship, the Fram, and was sold to a group of investors prior to the show. The artists were told to leave shortly after. Fridtjof Nansen, as an explorer, set new standards with his innovations, self-determination and visions he brought into his field of work. Qualities that artists need for their work just as much, as each artist is an explorer in his own creative way, and the studio is his ship to take him there. The portrait of Nansen shows a man staring down on the viewer, but torn apart by the small lines from which it is made and the room around him is crumbling down.
