Alternature

Alternature invites viewers into a dialogue between people and nature, using photography to trace the shifting boundaries where memory, environment, and imagination meet. Christoffer Relander employs his distinctive multiple-exposure technique to extend the possibilities of photographic expression and challenge conventional ways of seeing. The exhibition unites three significant bodies of work, including We Are Nature, Doubled Days, and Jarred & Displaced, with each offering a unique perspective on our connection to nature.

In We Are Nature, portraits are integrated with textures and details from the natural world, creating hybrid figures that blur the boundaries between humanity and environment. Unlike the immediacy of Doubled Days, this series follows a slower and more deliberate process, with many works carefully sketched and planned rather than left to pure experimentation.

Doubled Days presents fragments of everyday life through spontaneous double exposures, transforming ordinary experiences into layered visual diaries. Jarred & Displaced preserves familiar landscapes within glass jars, evoking both memory and the human desire to contain what is ephemeral.

Together, these works invite viewers to reconsider their relationship with nature. Through dreamlike yet precise imagery, ALTERNATURE reflects on belonging, memory, and the fragile balance between people and the environments they inhabit.
