The book, titled Old Laughter and Synonyms for Actors, contains texts and photo documentation related to the solo exhibition by Lars Nordby at Rafael Mihaylov. The book includes extended texts by Kjetil Røed and Hanna Gjelten Hattrem about Lars Nordby’s artistic practice and further explores his notion of identity and theatricality.
“We can imagine the theatre as a visual field that can place our role-plays in a location where suppressed aspects of life’s theatricality returns to an experi- ence of “not being able to act the part”, and thereby also a return of the void in the symbolic drama we are usually so wrapped up in.”
- Kjetil Røed, The Prop as a Tool for Recognition
“There is a parallel to be drawn with how Nordby formulates his artworks’ relation to the theatre. In Nordby’s ‘stagings’ th- ere is an absence of plotline. Instead we are exposed to settings and objects that lead up to the theatrical moment.”
- Hanna Gjelten Hattrem, Old Laughter and Synonyms for Actors
“Lars Nordby repeatedly tackles the issue of identity, utilizing conceptual means through the visual form. In his latest contemplation over the abstract boundaries of where the factual – by definition – frontline of identity begins and where, and if, it ends, the viewer is invited to observe a stage, not unlike in a theater, which is absolved of ending or beginning.”
- Emil Stefanov, We Contain Multitudes
