The event was quickly sold out with an additional waiting list when we invited to an artist tour with Inuuteq Storch in the photo exhibition At Home We Belong. Inuuteq captivated the audience with a personal introduction of himself and the four series shown in the exhibition.
First up was a presentation of At Home We Belong, which is a playful series with motifs consisting of Inuuteq’s friends at home in Sisimiut. Next, we went to Soon Will Summer Be Over, which is a photo series from Qaanaaq, located northwest of Kalaallit Nunaat. Inuuteq’s name originates from this town, which is the community that was most recently colonized on Kalaallit Nunaat. Inuuteq visited the town in 2023 and was interested in understanding the deeper meaning of the traditional hunting culture that encountered him.
Then we moved behind the textile curtain where Necromancer is exhibited. Necromancer deals with spirituality and contact with the dead, with photos from Kalaallit Nunaat, Denmark, Sweden, Canada and Norway. Finally, Inuuteq told the story behind Anachronism, which consists of seven short films edited together from undeveloped film reels that he found in a landfill. The reels turned out to be from a public film archive, and Inuuteq wants to use the films to bring out the conflicting feelings he and the people around him have about where they come from.
We thank Inuuteq for a lovely tour, and the audience for the responsive and warm atmosphere.
