Shadow Within | Christian Houge
The “Shadow Within” explores man’s relation to the wolf and ultimately to himself.
The relation between nature and culture has played an important role in art throughout the centuries. In this photo project, I invite the viewer to contemplate nature’s raw power and purity through the figure of the wolf. Nature, which we are born with, and culture, which we learn, co-exist within us. Thus, the wolf (nature), even in its purity, exists in shadows. These shadows stand for the taboos in our society: fear, social hierarchy, aggression, sexuality and loneliness.
