THE OPTIMAL GRIP

Explorations of the limits of the body and the experience of landscape combined

The Optimal Grip, solo exhibition at Trondheim Kunstmuseum, 2013

“In The Optimal Grip, climbing becomes both method and metaphor. With a camera fixed to his body, Geir Harald Samuelsen translates movement into images where human effort and landscape intertwine. The works capture the tension between presence and exertion, rest and force – where form, materiality, and abstraction overlap in fleeting, tactile traces”.

Pontus Kyander, director of Trondheim Art Museum.
