As a cinematographer Teit Jørgensen has filmed 5 movies on the Danish Film Institute’s top 100 of Danish doc umentaries. Of documentary, feature and short films we mention interchangeably: "A Film about Tattoos" (1969), "Quiet Days in Clichy" (1970), "Three Girls and a Pig" (1972), "And the Authorities said Stop" (1972), "Before We A wake" (1976), "The Normans – a film about the Vikings" (1976), "A Sunday in Hell" (1977), "Geology - is it really science? - A simple film "(1980) and "The Erotic Man" (2010). i

The solo exhibition “Snapshots & Stills” by Teit Jørgensen in Galleri Tom Christoffersen presents both stills from and photographs taken during the shootings of the films mentioned above. In addition, the exhibition shows photo graphs from the expedition, " Den gamle Maya” (The ancient Maya) (1971), that resulted in the book "Mayalandet " (Maya Country) (1973) made in collaboration with the Danish contemporary artist Per Kirkeby and Danish author Ib Michael.

As the man behind the scene, Teit Jørgensen has collaborated with competent and visible personalities. He is rec ognized for a special authenticity in the filming, which seems to stem from his unpretentious approa ch to the media . Back in December 1976 Per Kirkeby writes on the quality of the ‘matter -of fact’ compositions, which reflects an acceptance of " the ordinary in the process ":

"If the photographer understands this, his pictures becomes neither banal or expl icitly seducing (...). The images explain distance and space, shapes and scales clearly, the calm certainty becomes places of memories and magic. Very few photographers understand this simplicity, most actually fear it and overdo it. (...). But out of the photo graphic documentation, this si mplicity grows atmospheres without words. Incredible, what comes forth and can be seen . Teit Jørgensen is a Danish photographer who has these quali ties. His pictures are not demonstrative, but they show what comes forth and can be seen. His pictures have that quiet charisma." ii

During the exhibition selected films with Teit Jørgensen as photographer will be screened in Galleri Tom Christoffer sen. Please consult tomchristoffersen.dk for programme.
