“Erik Steffensen investigates art history and its theoretical perspectives as well as current popular culture. His photos offer a reflection of the significance of our common cultural references and the fascination that they hold, through an exploration of places and phenomena that are part of the contemporary mythology. His work deals with fears of nothingness and with solitude, yet it never lacks humour and irony.
In Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' two men are guided through 'the zone' by a third, the Stalker, in search of a nearly unreachable place called 'the room' where a person's innermost dreams and desires are said to come true. In the film as in the work of Erik Steffensen the journey in itself is paramount compared to its objective.”
