Rune Guneriussen has photographed many significant works throughout his career. The series "connections" draws the audience in as it features a series of artificially made telephones placed in the wilderness. It captures the essence of an expressive, symbolic and figurative photograph , displaying cool, naturalistic and earthy colours

(such as grey, white, black yellow). The photographs show a simple but bold explanation conveying across to the audience the meaning of the subjects, foreground, mid ground and background.

 

He efficiently uses an analogue played camera with extremely high resolution to gain the contrast of effects in the light and area of the photograph. As well as all of Guneriussens photographs, he uses the techniques of installation, photography and structure. He is mindful to the time frame he is working on, and as a result, he takes a considerate amount of time to sculpt, as sculpturing the objects is the main key to his photographs.

 

The "connections" series can be determined and explored in different forms. For example, the rotary-dial telephones flocking in a seascape can be the invasion of crabs on a beach, making an organised journey to the water.

 

In terms of Rune Guneriussens idea about the photographs of work he displays, they reach the standards of modern societty, and producing the idea that communication has steadily changed throughout time. "If you just go back to when phones were invented everyone in Norway had the exact same phones. Nowadays, it is something different, you have hundreds of models to choose from" Guneriussen explains. This is convenient to the way that it is telling us facts about how we used to communicate with eachother and the way it has changed to become what it is today.

 

Guneriussens photographs of the rotary-dial telephones can be in between the styles of a science fiction moment and a fairytale mood. His scenarios brim with such an evocative power that one can easily connect them with personal narratives that brings the telphones to life.

 

The objects seem to take on new life-like qualities when placed in these settings, as if it was part of the natural fabric, or he stumbled upon and pghotographed a naturally occuring phenomenon.
