In 2008 we celebrate 60 Years since the signing
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In
connection with this anniversary Trygve Lie Gallery
has chosen to present an exhibition illustrating
the 30 Human Rights Articles.
It
is an exhibition featuring artworks by photographer
Turi Aksdal who has been working
for several years trying to visualize the content
of the Declaration of Human Rights. “I’ve
been struggling for a long time to find the right
expression for the diverse content in these articles,”
she comments. “But its been an exiting process
and I`m very happy with the result.”
Turi
Aksdal was born in Haugesund, Norway, in 1962. She
has worked for a long time as a commercial photographer
but is now focusing mainly on art photograpy. She
has won several prices for her photographs.
Admission
