Between 4 and 5 a.m. at Oslo Airport, luggage slides through the X-ray checkpoint in a kind of sleepless choreography. For a split second, the suitcase stops being a container and becomes a confession: cables and keys, a book, a pair of scissors that shouldn’t be there—small choices and quiet habits rendered as glowing silhouettes.
Made in collaboration with Avinor, the work treats airport security as an unlikely photographic studio: a camera that doesn’t look at surfaces, but straight through them. It lands somewhere between radiography and still life—clinical in its light, yet strangely intimate in what it reveals.
The piece comes from the same period as Metabolism—a time when I was drawn to these “found” X-ray images as contemporary documents of movement, circulation, and what we carry (literally and otherwise). Different sites, same fascination: the everyday turning translucent, and the private becoming readable without ever showing a face.
The price includes 5% art tax.
This is a limited edition for people who want something real — but don’t need to buy a one-off to feel that.
The edition is fixed and controlled. When it’s gone, it closes. That’s the whole point: you get something scarce enough to matter, without the “only one exists” price level.
And hey! If you’re unsure about size: send me a wall photo with measurements and I’ll tell you what will actually work.
