/Her work – with the distinctive clarity of its whites and darks and its simultaneous warmth and leanness – seems to me particularly Scandinavian. The tones make me think of Bergman´s films – with the cinematography of Sven Nykvist and Gunnar Fisher. But, whereas Bergman´s films often see the with impending doom, Tone´s work only hints at the ominous. Instead, her lyrical work is suffused with a sense of familial warmth and love, and only occasionally tempered by a cooler note, just enough to remind us that childhood has its own terrors./

/Rarely can I write poetry upon request, but Norwegian photographer Tone Elin Solhlm´s spare, lyrical, yet, at times, also unsettling photographs of her children and daily life, brought to mind those childhood terrors that lurk in the dark corners of even our most indelible familial memories./
– Rebecca Norris Webb, poet and photographer
The images are exhibited in an intimate installation at Fotografiens Hus, Oslo. Last day is today…
