Emil Salto, Born in 1968 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Studied at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts 1994 - 2000.
The intended experience of the work is of the process, the elasticity
of time, or "elastic time", a kind of diffuse time-space that
establishes the work, examining in particular the relationship between
the tangible and the intangible in the works. The intention of his
work in a sense can come out of the everyday function of split time
experience and extend into a phenomenological experience of time.
The works are to some extent circular. Self-referential, they embody
their own time, and the process becomes the image. Emil Salto's
preoccupation with the basics of geometry and in the case of the "Mute
Science" photograms, the square creates a conceptual emptiness and
opens up space for contemplation regarding notions of time, shape,
cycles and dimensions. "Mute Science" is about these formal shapes and
sizes, which naturally affect us all and which in Emil Salto's
knowledge never refers to anything recognizable or concrete, enabling
it to remain alluring.
