In collaboration with Meta.Morf 2026, OMNIBUS invites you to an in-house production exploring an imagined future where the everyday scenery of a vacated open plan kitchen gives center stage to the memory of lost daylight.
A kitchen window with light curtains partially drawn lets sunlight into what seems to be a researcher’s studio apartment. On the dining table, notes and books are scattered, and the walls are covered with charts and printouts mapping, among other things, the movement of an unknown orbital object. A monitor displays news coverage of the inauguration of the first subterranean skyscrapers. The planet’s surface is no longer habitable.
The central element in this installation is the ephemeral sunlight entering through the kitchen window, casting parallel shadows. Behind the wall on which the window is mounted, a powerful LED is reflected by a large parabolic dish, causing the “sunbeams” to project in parallel across the room. Unlike light from ordinary artificial sources, the shadows cast by objects in this installation remain the same size regardless of their distance to the surfaces they fall upon, just like shadows cast by real sunlight. The installation evokes the notion of having been transported into another reality.
The staging imagines a museum room or experience center inside an underground bunker, designed to give the population the opportunity to experience sunlight as humans did in everyday life at the beginning of the millennium. The documents on display describe a global phase shift, in which humanity was forced underground to escape the consequences of a foreign body entering our solar system. The room is a replica of the fictional researcher who became central in uncovering the coming apocalypse.
SUNLIGHT IN THE LIVING CHAMBER OF DR. DENZEL NADIR is envisioned and produced by Andreas Mandal Fortes, and curated by Aage A. Mikalsen, in collaboration with Meta.Morf 2026. The exhibition is financially supported by Arts Council Norway (Kulturrådet). Additionally, we would like to give special thanks to Joel Hynsjö and Vitor Heitor Cardoso Cunha for their technical assistance and research.
Welcome to our opening Friday 29th at 6 p.m.
