Counting Time in Dog Years / Räkna tid i hundår is an expression with many meanings. By contrasting dog years to human years, we realize that time is a construction. A dog year is often used to describe a year of hard work and sacrifices.
The works of art in the exhibition Counting Time in Dog Years examine, among other things, aspects of time in relation to material and place. The works challenge preconceived ideas and open up for other worlds and interpretations. Grounded in the photographic medium, the artists use technical, historical, popular cultural and theoretical perspectives to broaden our idea of photography.
