Åsa Pröjts

Åsa Pröjts often works with photography as a model and in the two works in our collection she has given herself strict rules. She has transferred photographs from a sun holiday in Greece to overhead film, projected them on a strained watercolor paper and then built up her images with only three colors (Indian yellow, cobalt blue and Winsor red). During a slow process, she has tried to capture the shimmering sunlight and the rapidly disappearing moment. By painting the holiday snapshot, the subject becomes more important and the memory of the moment is extended.
