Kurt Johannessen has said: "In my work presence in the situation is fundamental. The rest I try to keep as open as possible, not to lock the options too early. This is the starting point. At the same time I am preoccupied with finding situation that may provide me with qualities I have not formerly experienced. I often minimise down to one image and create microscopic variations within this frame. At other times the situation is more complex, but still within a poetic minimalist expression."
