Object analysis with Amina Sahan at Guttorm Guttormsgaard's Archive. Sep 2018

This is one of six object analyses made with a group of young artists taking part in the workshop 'The Collective Subject of History' at Guttorm Guttormgaard's Archive in Blaker, Norway (June & September 2018). I (Jakob Jakobsen) invited six of the workshop participants to choose one or more objects from the Archive that we could use as a point of departure for a radio conversation. All conversations last around 30 min. Visual artist Amina Sahan picked two books: one of them a handwritten Koran, the other a French photo album from Algiers. And she juxtaposed these two books with two b/w photos found in a box in the archive with family photos from Bergen. Link: guttormsgaardsarkiv.no/node/304/item/203
