Step through the doors of Galleri MAP, and immediately you are surrounded by a carefully chosen selection of photos of a-ha from the early days of their career, taken by Norwegian photographer Janne Møller-Hansen. Printed on large aluminum panels, the images range from live concert shots to quiet, reflective moments, and each one will resonate with anyone who has followed the band’s career from the beginning.
In short, these are some of the most classic and well-known images of the band presented in a unique medium with high impact in this cozy gallery. It is well worth a visit to the gallery to spend some time among these stunning photos. Examine them from all angles to get the full effect of light on metal, the subtle transformation of shadows to clarity, the gradients offering an unexpected depth that a normal photographic print could not achieve.
However, if standard photos are more your interest, there is also a series of smaller photo prints available for the same selection of images.
Please note that on Saturday 4 December, the gallery will open earlier than usual to accommodate out of town visitors who may be in Oslo for a-ha’s final concert– opening hours will be from 10.00-17.00. Janne Møller-Hansen will be at the gallery from 10.00-12.00 that day, so if you have questions about the photos or her work with a-ha over the years, it is a great opportunity to learn about this first hand.
