Laura Killer – Solo exhibition – Copenhagen 2024
“Needs to talk about light”
“Fire is a threat and a warm necessity at the same time, fascination and hypnosis, something that we want to control and that controls us. These are aspects we long for in rhythms.
Assigning a place to many thousands of matches is a concentrated act of control. Setting them on fire is to accept that there is no such thing as control. Working with fire means relinquishing responsibility at a certain point. It’s to let go and be good. It’s to worship the traces.
On display are multi-component works from two fire serieses. They unfold, emerge from one another, collapse into each other or replace one another.
Basically it’s movements of communication, of language. These are my personal needs to talk about light.”
