Carl Mannov’s exhibition at Kunstnerforbundet explores the intersection between the staged and the immediate, where everyday elements are inserted into a theatrical reality. In Overlys-salen (the Skylight Hall), he constructs a fragmented narrative in which both people and letters function as visual signs detached from clear meaning.
A series of paintings depicts individuals with neutral facial expressions, wearing glasses and striped sweaters.
