“Crumbling Moments”

Crumbling Moments was a group exhibition at S.P.G Stockholm around a discourse on nature and time; where the modern lifestyle is reflected in crumbling landscapes. 

Despite each artist's peculiarities and distinct work, the exhibition's focus brings together a sort of fellowship and, in some ways, allows the creation of a common language. The artists investigate inaccessible places and parallel realities. Through picking up the beauty in the un-beautiful details, they speak of decay and reconstruction. 


About Oscar Furbacken’s works:

Furbacken depicts the overlooked places of the world, “as if we were looking upon eternity through a thin crack”, with hovering camera shoots in extreme close-ups, mysterious cracks in concrete (Vittringar) and various bronze objects. His video installation Close Studies of Paris is a meditative journey amongst hidden micro worlds from the street corners of the well known city. The series Wastelands turns metal waste into miniature landscapes : playful but grave imagery that creates a story of life and death, responsibility and insight.
