- archival pigment print
The quiet, sensitive and restrained are expressive qualities that permeate Trine Søndergaard’s oeuvre in general. In Arkivalia we see the textures of the translucent wrapping tissue, which is used to wrap old and fragile silk dresses in the historical collections in museums. The fragility of the tissue paper is palpable. As gradients of white, the paper appears delicate, seemingly not even able to withstand our direct gaze. Søndergaard draws our attention to the tissue paper instead of the items it is normally used to protect focusing on the shapes and beauty of the delicate paper.
