The photographs in the "in Natura" series refer to the past; I do not imitate it, but seek to evoke it again. Scandinavians believe that nature will revitalize the body, and as a Norwegian artist I think about our perhaps unique relationship to nudity and the freedom of nature. Unfortunately, this freedom is not for all women on our earth. "When I float naked in the water - weightless... then thoughts, time and space disappear. The smell of hot rock - trumps all others… It has been here for hundreds of years before me… and will last forever… faint, deep, safe and full of memories…"

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye”. Werner Anderson (1972) Norwegian photographer, director and visual artist. Rooted in his socially engaged approach to art, Anderson’s poetic pictures ask open-ended questions about our collective and individual processing of the past. The artist also works with themes linked to the relationship between man and nature.
