i’m jealous of rune guneriussen
That’s it… as soon as I finish writing this, I’m taking all of my books and lamps out into the backyard where they clearly belong! Sigh. These beautiful {and let’s face it, quite magical} installations are assembled and then photographed by Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen. Since 2005, he’s been creating these engaging narratives using man-made objects {like tables, chairs, telephones, globes, and of course, lamps & books} placed into the natural landscape of Norway. Ok, I better go open the back door… my lamps need a bit of fresh air.
he obviously doesn’t live on the west coast of norway, like me. where i live, it rains so much that you can’t bring anything outside unless it’s equipped with an umbrella and wellingtons. nice find though – i hadn’t heard of him =)
ha! well, maybe he could do a few pieces in your neck of the woods… instead of lamps and books, umbrellas and wellingtons? what do you think? ; )
I’ve been following his work, and couldn’t agree with you more. The lamps? Perfection.
I love this!!! although, I do want to read my books…
Wow I love these. I am jealous too. I want to live in a forest that has rivers of books and trees that grow pretty lamps.
love! what amazing work!
Am on my way to Norway next week…will try to see some of his work…thanks for the contact!
[…] perusing Guneriussen’s portfolio after happening across one of his images featured in a Jealous Curator guest-post at SFGirlByBay, and found them to be wholly mesmerizing. I highly recommend you settle […]
Amazing! Thrilled that I found your blog via sfgirlbybay!

oooooooh me oh my, yep, I am REALLY jealous right now. envious. jealous.
jealousy becomes me. man, this is so beautiful. if i didn’t have an apartment the size of a pea I would run out to a thrift store and buy 10 lamps right now to replicate this. sheesh. gorgeous.
ps, I found your blog through a friend. I think i’ll need to visit more often now 🙂
