Et riksportrett (etter Eidsvold 1814) / A Portrait of a Nation (after Eidsvold 1814), 2014
Color photography, 300x213 cm
Et riksportrett (etter Eidsvold 1814) / A Portrait of a Nation (after Eidsvold 1814) is a color photograph based on the iconic painting Eidsvold 1814 (1885) by Oscar Wergeland. The painting shows the 112 representatives in the Constituent Assembly who established and adopted the Norwegian Constitution 200 years ago. Coinciding with the bicentennial anniversary of the constitution, artist Trond Hugo Haugen has created a photograph with a statistically correct representation of contemporary Norway. The Norwegian population has been scaled down to 112 people to match the number of representatives present in 1814. The photograph represents Norway in 2014 to cover gender, age, ethnicity, occupation, belief, sexual orientation and so on.
