On Sunday, 1 December 2019<\/strong>, Perspektivet Museum opens the exhibition Behold,<\/em> I am coming soon! <\/em>by Erlend Berge. The project began with Berge\u2019s reflection on the uniquely Norwegian prayer houses that are on the verge of disappearing.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2017, the photographer Erlend Berge started living in a camper van and travelled around Norway to photograph the aesthetics of Norwegian prayer houses. He encountered a surprisingly varied \u2018prayer-house land\u2019 with local differences as well as a culture undergoing rapid change. Through the photographs, he aims to \u2018invite viewers to attend the bazar and the Christmas party with singing around the Christmas tree, before the pastel colours are painted over and the flannelgraph figures fall off the board for the last time\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

Visiting the prayer houses would have been impossible were it not for those who use them. In collaboration with Perspektivet Museum, the exhibition Behold, I am coming soon!<\/em> now for the first time includes portraits of some of those who opened the prayer-house doors.<\/p>\n

Erlend Berge went to Sunday School at Heia Prayer House in Ryfylke and also attended bazars there. He trained as a journalist and has worked in recent years as a photojournalist for the newspaper V\u00e5rt Land.<\/p>\n

The exhibition<\/em> Behold, I am coming soon! <\/em>marks the final year of Perspektivet Museum\u2019s long-term exhibition Homo Religiosus.<\/em><\/p>\n

After the exhibition opening, Erlend Berge will present a talk about his journey through \u2018Prayer House Land\u2019 \u2013 Bedehusland<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Programme, Sunday, 1 December 2019:<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Exhibition opening. The photographer will be present.
\nMusic by Anne Nymo Trulsen, 2 pm.
\nLecture by Erlend Berge, 3 pm.<\/p>\n
