Kristin Holm Dybvig. Born and based in Stavanger, Norway. In recent years, Kristin has worked on developing a poetic, ecological approach, through dreamlike, liminal landscapes. She explore themes of memory, longing, and our quiet relationship with the natural world. Kristins work moves beyond linear time; fluid landscapes and ancient natural forms connect brief human presence to a wider temporal continuum. The rhythms of nature carry traces of memory, inviting the viewer into a contemplative universe where stillness and balance allow the human perspective to rest within a larger, enduring ecological flow.

I have worked with the theme of Falling Water over several years. Water is a vital element in my practice; it breathes life into the landscape, bringing reflection, depth, and distance to the images.

Yet, Falling Water is more than just waterfalls and rain. It contains an element of time—a reminder of an ongoing process that humans do not control. The water flows independently of us; whether we are present to witness it or not, nature continues its rhythm.

Enjoy!

Falling Water brings together works where water is more than a motif; it is a force that shapes, dissolves, and carries. From the central power of the waterfall to the quiet presence of rain and mist, the exhibition explores nature not as a backdrop, but as a dynamic presence in its own right. Here, water falls continuously—a kind of poetry of gravity—binding sky to earth in a vertical flow. It depicts a world in constant motion, existing independently of the human gaze.

Yet, within this flow, there are moments of suspension. In the Vadested (Ford) series, the focus shifts from the overwhelming force of the cascade to the intimate, liminal space of the crossing. Historically, a ford is a physical point of passage where depth and current dictate movement. In these works, the ford expands into an existential space: a zone between movement and stillness, between memory and future possibility.

These drawings capture the suspended moment before a decision is made. There is no guarantee of arrival on the other side; instead, the viewer is invited into a space of negotiation, vulnerability, and presence. Time here is not linear but pulsating—a state where past, present, and future coexist. Inspired by Nordic ecological landscapes, the works suggest a post-anthropocentric understanding of nature: a world that continues, with or without us. The absence of human figures, animals, or distinct vegetation strips the landscape down to its essential relations, allowing the viewer to share this temporal space with the motif itself.

Together, the works create a dialogue between the distant, almost dissolved perspective of the waterfall and the bodily, immediate encounter of the ford. One represents the unceasing rhythm of the earth; the other, the fragile human pause within that rhythm.

Falling Water invites the audience into an experience of continuity and transformation. It is a quiet reminder that the world is always in the process of becoming something else, and that we, too, are merely passing through—standing for a moment in the flow, between what was and what might be.
