\n

Kim Laybourn’s<\/span><\/span> Silly – sorry for calling you an inanimate object <\/span><\/span><\/em>is <\/span>the <\/span>first version of <\/span>a<\/span> long-term project<\/span> of his<\/span>. Th<\/span>e<\/span> work <\/span>comprises<\/span> a multichannel video installation <\/span>for<\/span> the <\/span>WAM<\/span><\/span>X<\/span><\/span> exhibition series <\/span><\/span>Institute of Coe<\/span>x<\/span>istence<\/span><\/span>. The different scenes of the work are presented independently and simultaneously on several different screens, allowing the viewer <\/span>to <\/span>experience the work spatially, as a place, or as a state of mind, rather than as an unbroken story.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silly – sorry for calling you an inanimate object<\/span><\/i> depicts a landscape bursting with life created using 3D animation.\u00a0 It shows us plants that are familiar from our daily environment, which we consider to be passive, lifeless, and practically as inanimate objects. The plants nevertheless start to behave in ways that we are not accustomed to \u2013 freely and expressively, but also in an alienating manner. A new kind of point of view opens to us where completely new rules apply. Nature is no longer composed of passive and lifeless objects, but of active organisms with a strong will of their own.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n

Kim Laybourn<\/h3>\nKim Laybourn is a Danish artist living in Norway. Laybourn graduated from the master’s degree program at the Oslo Art Academy (KHiO) in 2019. In his work Laybourn focuses on the existential points of contact between people and nature and studies other living beings as active players. In recent years he has focused on landscapes and the nature around us as a subject – an active player. In his works Laybourn places the landscape in the foreground and in a central position, instead of having the landscape serve as a background for other subjects \u2013 usually people. Laybourn works with text, video, sound, music, animation, CGI-graphics, sculpture, and installations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim Laybourn and the completion of his works have been supported by Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond, the Danish Arts Foundation, and the Arts Council Norway.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
