Viggo Mortensen je herec, který se proslavil rolemi ve filmových trilogiích a oceňovaných dramatech. Jeho herectví se vyznačuje hloubkou a schopností vtělit se do rozmanitých postav, které často zkoumají lidskou psychiku a morální dilemata. Jeho umělecký rozhled přesahuje herectví, zahrnuje poezii, hudbu, fotografii a malířství, což dokládá jeho všestranný tvůrčí přístup.
Viggo Mortensen presents new contexts for old feelings, trusting the formation of sentences that may or may not take me anywhere and the images that may or may not show us something we can see. Configurations of photographs and words captured near and far, shown clearly or hardly at all, in a continuing effort to trail lost memory and hold mirror shards to what we discard.
This long awaited second publication by the highly recognized film actor and artist/poet, Viggo Mortensen melds his acutely sensitive ability to intertwine words, paintings and photography into one lyrical conceptual landscape. Working like a personal diary, SignLanguage, takes us on a visual journey into the soul of Mortensen's creative forces. His diary-based photographs, taken while filming 'The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Rings' become dream-like landscapes shrouded in mystery and suspense while his multi-layered paintings entwine themselves around stanzas of poetry. The melding of all three forces allows the reader to become acutely aware of the details surrounding the artists existence, a multiple of split-second images burned into the mind of a thousand different places. SignLanguage exquisitely features extensive color and black and white reproductions of both his photographic works and his intensely personal collage based paintings, partly intertwined in an informative essay by international critic and poet, Kevin Power. Special highlights also include unique photographs by Mortensen while on location during the filming of 'The Lord of the The Fellowship of the Ring'.
