Catherine Opie's "Holding Blue" Examines Climate Change Through Norwegian Mountain Photography
By
admin
Summary
A review of Catherine Opie's exhibition "Holding Blue" at Regen Projects, where the photographer captures Norwegian mountain ranges during "Blue Hour" to explore climate change through a melancholic, restrained perspective. Unlike her typically raw and explicit work, Opie focuses on mountain peaks dwarfed by the sky, using the dual connotations of "blue" — rawness and melancholy — to address the sobering subject of environmental change.

· 3 pulledMetaphorically, 'blue' has two connotations: that which is raw and explicit, and that which is melancholy.
While much of Catherine Opie's work contends with the former, 'Holding Blue' deals with the sober subject of climate change.
Opie often restricts her perspective to their peaks, allowing them to be dwarfed by the heavens' grandeur.
