Rune Gunneriussen.

 
Rune Gunneriussen takes the unconventional items of our everyday lives and transplants them in to natural environments, creating a hybridized series of installation works in which manufactured goods take on seemingly natural roles. Take, for instance, "Capacity to Breed and Recover," (above) where vintage lamps seem to imitate mushroom cluster. Gunneriussen places telephones on seaside rocks, suggesting barnacles, and arranges books around tree trunks, as if the bound paper is trying to reclaim its past life. Though these man-made objects seek to simulate natural phenomenon, the delicate vegetation in which they are placed create a stark contrast between nature and the synthetic bits of our modern realities.
