Christian Tunge (b. 1989 in Stavanger) works with found material from the Olympic Games and the stories and myths around it. - HEAVY Books.
Using the colors and motifs of the Olympic rings dispersed throughout his book, Tunge unites photographs of Olympic athletes with images implicitly associated with the Olympics — the atomic bomb, a partially destroyed sports car, a soldier jumping through a burning hoop. The Games exposes themes of disability and ability, the interplay between the two, victory and defeat, and the effects - good and bad - of technological innovation. Tunge surprises the viewer with ostensibly unexpected images, ones which upon closer analysis reveal meaningful connections rarely seen amidst the fanfare of the Olympic Games.
