With the photography «It`s all around you - Buot leat du birra», Gjert Rognli draws in references from his affiliation with Arctic Northern Norway, to light, darkness and the seasons. In this project, he uses fragments from the intangible cultural heritage from his Sámi Indigenous background. And he invites us on a mythological journey into deep forests and over misty landscapes. He illuminates nature with LED lights and creates light installations in the landscape.

Gjert Rognli works as a multidisciplinary artist, with film, photography, sculpture and performance. In his works, he draws in references from his belonging to Arctic Northern Norway, to light, darkness and seasons and his Sámi cultural heritage. He takes nature and natural forces into his works with references to the surreal and mythological. Rognli has received a number of international art, photography, television and film awards for his works, and has had many separate and collective exhibitions at home and abroad, including the Louvre Museum in Paris.
