In 2008 we celebrate 60 Years since the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In connection with this anniversary Trygve Lie Gallery has chosen to present an exhibition illustrating the 30 Human Rights Articles.

It is an exhibition featuring artworks by photographer Turi Aksdal who has been working for several years trying to visualize the content of the Declaration of Human Rights. “I’ve been struggling for a long time to find the right expression for the diverse content in these articles,” she comments. “But its been an exiting process and I`m very happy with the result.”

Turi Aksdal was born in Haugesund, Norway, in 1962. She has worked for a long time as a commercial photographer but is now focusing mainly on art photograpy. She has won several prices for her photographs.

Admission is free, and the exhibit is open to the public.
