The project "Scar formations" moves physically and mentally into the historical passive and contemporary active militarized landscape in the border areas between Norway and Russia.  The project focuses particularly on Sør Varanger and the Varanger Peninsula, where many of the Norwegian Partisans and their partisan helpers had their homes and many of their descendants still live.

In the face of the passive military ruin landscape and the active military border defence, an interesting visual, emotional and intellectual meeting space arises, where memories of the past are reactivated in the global political tensions that today characterize the worldview.

The exhibition Scar Formations takes as its starting point how power structures and major political changes can affect living conditions for both individuals and groups of people in a topocritical context. This will largely be linked to objects and physical infrastructure as a projection of mental existence and political ideas.
