The Norwegian artist’s lyrics take over a concrete-filled Oslo in a display of light and text
The latest release from electro-pop producer Torgny, a collaboration with computational design studio Void and photographer Pernille Sandberg, sees the Nordic act’s lyrics projected on the building façades of Oslo at night. Here, he talks about the thought process behind the project:
“What started out as an aesthetic exploration of the lyric video through simple projection techniques, gradually grew into a series of guerrilla light installations as the team hauled a video projector to some of the city’s most iconic buildings and places—some well known, some half-forgotten.
“To us, the lyrics came to represent one level of communication layered on top of another—the language of concrete structures and the human body.

“By juxtaposing images of the urban landscape with up-close footage of the artist’s uncovered body, we explored the dissonance as well as the similarities between humans and manmade artefacts.”
