Reindeer(OSLO)

Designing landscape driven exhibition by Reindeer. Building knowledge of cultural landscapes by Reindeer. How can we perceive cultural landscapes? Reindeer represents ‘landscape’, and this project spreads facts about reindeer through images, words, and a space. Reindeer in the North are herded by minority groups. The reindeer in the South is known as Rudolph by many. They are vulnerable for economic interests for the area such as resources or road construction, climate change hugely effecting on the North, social or political pressure, etc. These have been mostly caused by a majority of people from the outside of the pasture area, who do not have enough knowledge of reindeer herding. ‘Reindeer’ is not about spatial issues at a specific site, but about the perception of the landscape by the public. This happens through documentation of the objects of Sami reindeer herders, also objects found in everyday life in Oslo, etc. An exhibition design at DogA in Oslo, Norway, makes up this project. The words have been inspired by my stay with the herders.
