Rachel Rose’s ‘Good Morning Midnight’ at GL Strand, Copenhagen, centres on her cinematic Enclosure (2019) and recent video The Last Day (2023)
The sun and the moon are the guiding lights of Rachel Rose’s exhibition at GL Strand in Copenhagen. Their celestial movements speak to the passage of time and our shifting relationship with the natural world. In her eponymous print, ‘a giant florescent headlight is blasting towards the setting sun’, Rose explains. Natural and artificial light sources meet, just as the day’s beginning and end collide.Rose’s show is anchored by two films, which at first glance appear to have little in common.
, which has its European premiere at GL Strand, uses the sun’s cycle to represent epic changes in world development. Across 900 medium-format photographs of her son’s bedroom, Rose tracks the movement of the sun, from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, accompanied by Disney scores of youthful memories. The final scene is illuminated by ‘a kind of live magic carpet’.
For Rose, the carpet of our childhood bedroom is ‘the first landscape’ where ‘we create miniature scenes and play with our Barbies and toys’. At the time, Rose was engrossed in Virginia Woolf’s diaries and her own formative memories of her nursery. Looking inside her children’s toy chest, she realised there was a whole history of time. Dinosaurs and construction trucks are a ‘palimpsest – symbolically at least – of human and nonhuman life on Earth’.
