TRAEFAEGSLET

TRAEFAEGSLET – Træfængslet(The Wooden Prison) is a collection of photographs made by Nick Geboers in the cells of the historic buildings of Kunstmuseet Tønder, part of Museum Sønderjylland, in southern Jutland, Denmark. Close-ups reveal marks, traces, glyphs, pictograms and messages scratched, engraved and carved into the wooden walls, a collective evidence left from years of imprisonment. Geboers is an image seeker fascinated by the rich history of photography. He also presents his own images in carefully considered constellations. Moving from the position of archaeologist to visual author, he moves in a free space between the hard and soft sciences.
