NORWAY: How can photographic portraiture, through a systematic and participatory method, create meaningful encounters while representing place and community?
Each school participating in the 100 METERS project were asked to pick one student who represented the local area. One student (in some cases two and three) in 12 different places were portrayed. 4 girls and 11 boys. In a forest in Leksdal, Verdal, at a pedestrian crossing in Grong, on an artificial football turf in Stjørdal and other venues in Kolvereid, Lierne, Namsos, Namsskogan, Flatanger, Steinkjer, Inderøy, Leksvik and Levanger. Such photographic work provides an opportunity for a crucial and contact-creating meeting between artist and participants. A contact which is otherwise difficult to create with large groups of participants and short meetings. It also allowed the artist to collect a material within a system, compared to arbitrary selection of location and photographic objects.
