With the photography project "What nature knows", Rognli draws in references from his affiliation with Arctic Northern Norway, to light, darkness and the seasons. He transforms ordinary landscapes into an enigmatic place to be and takes us on a visual experience in the evening and the atmosphere of the night. In the project he immerses light installations in water, and creates harmony where there is conflict between the elements. He illuminates nature with LED-lights, luminescent material, and uses photographic effects.

Gjert Rognli works as a multidisciplinary artist, with film, photography, sculpture and performance. In his works, he draws in references from his belonging to Arctic Northern Norway, to light, darkness and seasons and his Sámi cultural heritage. He takes nature and natural forces into his works with references to the surreal and mythological. Rognli has received a number of international art, photography, television and film awards for his works, and has had many separate and collective exhibitions at home and abroad, including the Louvre Museum in Paris.
