Mountains Don’t Know Their Names
Catherine Opie approaches the Norwegian landscape as something closer to a subject than a view in Mountains Don’t Know Their Names at PoMo.
Developed after a winter road trip through mountains and fjords, the exhibition brings together photographs, ceramic sculptures, and site-specific video installations that linger on weather, light, scale, and the human urge to name what exists beyond us.
Known for her portraits of people, places, and cultural identity, Opie turns that same attention toward nature, treating each mountain as a presence to be studied over scenery to be consumed.
