Extract from the exhibition text: “Idiography, gimmicks and borrowed plumes – material investigations of the nature and culture of images in Pernille With Madsen’s Uncountable Ambience” by Anne Kølbæk Iversen, translated from Danish to English by Nanna Friis
"In a visually overmodulated culture like the one we live in, creating images in their own right is a difficult exercise; images that are not already loaded with meaning, images that we don’t already know (or expect that we know) how to read. Pernille With Madsen presents us with such images which at the same time cause astonishment, skepticism and surprise in the reciprocity between beholding illusion and admiring production. Rather than drawing on existing meanings they point towards questions of how meaning is constructed in an interplay between expectation, convention and recognition.“

Uddrag fra udstillingsteksten “Idiografi, gimmicks og lånte fjer” af Anne Kølbæk Iversen, kunsthistoriker og kurator:
"I en visuelt overstyret kultur som vores er det en svær øvelse at skabe billeder i egen ret; billeder som ikke allerede er ladet med betydning, billeder vi ikke på forhånd ved eller har en fast forventning til, hvordan vi skal aflæse. Pernille With Madsen præsenterer os for sådanne billeder, som på én gang fremkalder undren, skepsis og overraskelse i vekselvirkningen mellem at betragte illusionen og beundre produktionen. I stedet for at trække på eksisterende betydninger peger de hen imod, hvordan betydning konstrueres i et samspil mellem forventning, konvention og genkendelse. “
