The force of nature is at the heart of Gjert Rognli’s artistic practice. He works across film, photography, sculpture and performance, often referencing his affiliation with Arctic Northern Norway. What Nature Knows floats between surrealism and mythology. For four years, from late summer until the snow in October, Rognli wandered the Norwegian countryside seeking sites for photographs, before building and illuminating these structures. Rognli is part of the Sámi indigenous people; the culture has intrinsically influenced his practice.
