Kim Hiorthøy –
Norway: The
wit and intelligence of the work of young Norwegian
designer, artist, musician, film-maker and photographer
Kim Hiorthøy marks him out as being one of
a very special kind. Regardless of what medium he
chooses, he manages to pack narratives of great intricacy
and depth into his very personal and reduced visual
or written language. From the Nordic colour cosmos
of his record sleeves to his poetic and often humorous
drawings or photos, Hiorthøy erases the line
between design and art with accomplished ease.
