Is your mother still your mother after you fall asleep? By Thyra Dragseth is currently on view at MELK

In her works, the documenting properties of photography are both enhanced and repressed. What we see is the result of a transparent, manipulative process: negatives cut, taped, scratched, exposed and enlarged. Moments and subjects from distant times and point of views, forced together in a twisted narrative, balance on the edge between confession and concealment. Several of the found images reveal scenes from a ship where Dragseth’s grandfather worked as a ship’s mechanic, and where his wife (Dragseth’s grandmother) went along two times. They left their two little boys at home for several years, to earn money and experience the world, each other, and life at sea. As a retold story it is difficult to grasp. As developed pictures, however, it is possible to approach some sort of understanding, if not outright identification.

MELK is open 12-16 Thursday to Sunday
