May - June 2013
Wenche Selmer (1920-1998), an unpretentious master, a modern interpreter of the Norwegian tradition. Here, "the suburbs" are where the hill rises and the city merges with the wood. Houses where people live. I shake off my diffidence, I ring the bell, they let me in. Inside, I do not take any pictures, I just ask and listen. The house at the moose trail (1967) has a new owner. In another house (1974), a photographer still lives and works.
There is a monography of Selmer by Elisabeth Tostrup, a smart lady I have met at AHO. The English edition is called Norwegian Wood.
