Catherine Opie: Mountains Don’t Know Their Names

Catherine Opie:Mountains Don’t Know Their Names
at PoMo in Trondheim, Norway
June 25, 2026-January 03, 2027

Created in close collaboration with the artist, “Mountains Don’t Know Their Names” brings together a new body of work developed during a three-week road trip through the Norwegian winter landscape in 2024. In this exhibition, she turns her attention toward Norwegian mountains, fjords, and traces of human presence within the landscape during the “blue hour”. The exhibition presents 53 photographs from the series Norwegian Mountains, where Catherine Opie explores and challenges the traditions of landscape photography. The photographs are shown alongside 30 ceramic mountain sculptures, created both before and after Opie’s journey through Norway. Part memory, part imagination, the sculptures reflect her emotional and physical encounter with the landscapes she observed. The exhibition also features two new site‑specific video installations by artist and Emmy‑winning filmmaker Kate Kunath, who accompanied Opie on her travels.
