news in residence
In Souvenir Hansson shows five hundred photographs coming from various news reports, mainly from the television channels BBC and Al Jazeera. In People from the news (2010), an installation consisting approximately of four thousand dolls, the dolls too have faces that come from people who have appeared in the news. By photographing the passing faces directly from the television screen and then making them into dolls, Hansson materializes something which is otherwise transient. The faces as he has chosen have belonged to different people; catastrophe participants and spectators, criminals, victims, politicians, stars - and all those who accidentally happened to walk past when the news camera was there.
Everything in the exhibition is for sale at a relatively low price. And you can choose whether you wish to buy the photos enlarged as paintings or as photographs, or buy a doll…
