Kirstine Roepstorff: Rainbows, 2009. Installationsview.

From the press release:
The exhibition title, Rainbows, is a metaphor on simultaneous being and non-being. It is the position between these two kinds of presence that interests Kirstine Roepstorff. In the large gallery space, four major works are exhibited: North, South, West, East and Center. Each work represents a figure which, via balance and concentration, achieves a presence in the now, and thereby dissolves itself in its own background. The colours of the works represent different times of the day, while their titles give the works a direction in relation to the observer. The work Center is hidden behind a curtain which contains the colours from the other works.

In addition to the large collages, Roepstorff is also showing a number of smaller collages, Notes of Density. These works are built up around two polar opposite phenomena: peacefulness and restlessness. Stone in its various forms represents peace, silence and the dense mass, in contrast to aggression and restlessness, represented by cuttings from media magazines. Round about, the daily stream of news is portrayed in the form of small political pin-pricks: terrorism, soldiers, Muslim women dressed in burqas, and immigration. In relation to the large works, these smaller works function as a separate polar contrast to the perfect balance expressed in the large space.
