Under Heaven - Halfdan Venlov

Under Heaven
‘Under Heaven’ affirms Halfdan Venlov’s approach to open narratives, portraying Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen, Denmark. During the first national lockdown in spring 2020, Venlov began photographing his encounters with young people during walks around the cemetery. This resulted in a series of photographs in appreciation of nature, tranquillity, youth and death - focused on the dualism between the connotations of a cemetery and the youthful characters portrayed. Each person seems to be simultaneously in the here and now, and indefinably elsewhere in their expression. While stressing the poetry and ambiance of a time and a place, the series also marks Venlov’s interest in the relationship between the individual and the public landscape. At the hand of the pandemic, Venlov addresses the transition from childhood into early adult life, and the feeling of being out of step with the world in a time of uncertainty.
