Nostalgia Economika – 10.000 Elephants
Ever since I was a small child, I’ve been fascinated by big images. Whether it’s photography, graphics or painting. Big images do something to the space, they become part of it. I like that. They are present, they can’t be avoided. They always demand our attention.
Nostalgia Economika is a series of paintings and digital prints produced in large formats. The drawing in the background is from banknotes from around the world. Nostalgia because what we call money is in flux, and in many places banknotes are no longer exchanged for coins. Now digital transactions are taking over and banknotes are on their way out. Along with them, a social interaction that lasted for thousands of years. The state and central bank are losing not only a means of representation, but also control over the definition of what money is and will be in the future. A little nostalgia is allowed.
The colors in the image are applied with a brush in several but thin layers and are intended to completely break up the message of the money motif. They simply have nothing to do with each other and that’s how it should be.

Welcome to the tammorama
For those who don't know me yet :-)
I’m Tammo Rist, an artist whose journey has taken me from the bustling streets of Berlin to the serene landscapes of Oslo. Born in Germany, I found my artistic calling early on, and after completing my education at Universität der Künste Berlin and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, I set my sights on Norway’s capital.
Since 2006, Oslo has been my home, and it’s here that I’ve immersed myself in it’s vibrant art scene, leaving my mark through a diverse range of mediums and techniques. While my roots lie in traditional forms of expression, my practice has evolved over the years to encompass digital media, photography, graphics, light objects, painting, and performance. This diversity reflects my insatiable curiosity and my desire to constantly challenge artistic norms.
At the core of my work is a fascination with deconstructing the image, blurring the lines between different artistic categories to create pieces that defy easy classification. My creations are deeply personal, drawing inspiration from my own experiences and surroundings. Each piece tells a story, capturing moments in time and space that have left a lasting impression on my psyche.
My artistic process is guided by intuition rather than rigid rules or structures. I embrace spontaneity, allowing the eye and the moment to dictate the direction of my work. As a result, many of my pieces arise organically, infused with a sense of raw authenticity that defies perfection.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to participate in numerous national and international exhibitions and projects, garnering acclaim for my innovative approach and thought-provoking concepts. My work challenges viewers to see the world through a different lens, inviting them to explore the complexities of the human experience in all its beauty and imperfection. Join me on this journey of exploration and discovery as we navigate the boundless possibilities of art together.
