Norwegian photographer Øyvind Hjelmen´s project Moments Reflected is a collection of fragmented memories. Floating in time, touching upon childhood, youth and adulthood, these images reflect on how we relate to ourselves and our surroundings as human beings. How the rest of our lives are built upon our childhood. How we relate to our fears, hopes, sexuality and dreams. The images suggest, they do not determine. They are rather enigmatic in the way that something is always absent. It has been suggested that Øyvind Hjelmen´s images can give one a feeling of remembering something one does not know. Or as one writer put it; it is like a déja vu waiting to happen. “These are moments of life beautifully shot in silver,” says gallery owner Christian Depardieu. “Their contemplation arouses emotions, dreams. We penetrate the imagination of the artist, to the depths of his intimacy, in a fragile universe where uncertainty and surprise are not absent.”
