Blind Spots

Mikael Hansen is inclined to think that the eye’s unconscious observations are more important to our view of reality than conscious registration and analysis. So in a number of works he has chosen to focus on what has been overlooked: the pause, the emptiness, the anonymous. That is what Blind Spot is about. Since the Vestskoven project in 1985, where a related work was done for the first time, Mikael Hansen has pursued the theme “Blind Spots” in installations, drawings, paintings and photography, for example by pasting a square piece of white paper in the middle of a photograph of a forest floor in 1993.
