ARTHEMIST lighthouse 48
By Bjorn Veno
0 - Default Title
Description
Across 54 filmed gestures, still images, and experimental poetry, the book becomes a ritual, an invitation to perceive beyond the surface of art and language.
There is no fear of failure, no guardrails leading to success in these words and images. They fumble their way through darkness, into the uncaring embrace of the unknown, where words are eaten by fish.
Shot and written on the island of Venoya, Lighthouse 48 merges photography, performance, text, and philosophy into a single act of creation. Each page oscillates between documentation and incantation, image and word, presence and absence.
Grounded in Veno's philosophy of Arthemy, art as alchemy, the work challenges the commodification of art and the passive gaze of spectatorship.
It is not a record of art made for display, but a living archive of struggle, perception, and becoming.
Bjorn Veno (also spelled Bjørn Venø) (b. 1979) is a multidisciplinary artist working with performance, photography, text, sound, and moving image. He received an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art (2012). His work has been exhibited at Sogn og Fjordane Kunstmuseum and Fotografiens Hus, and at international institutions including the Norton Museum of Art and Museum Palazzo Riso.
The book features 63 black and white still images from the 63-minute film ARTHEMIST lighthouse 48.
