I am an Oslo based visual artist working with video, film, photography, live visual performance and installations.
Growing up on an old Kvääni farm in the Reisadalen valley in the arctic part of Norway, I was surrounded by beautiful nature and great storytellers – that shaped me a lot. In my work I’m often exploring the links between time and identity, often through a Kvääni or Sámi perspective.
I find lots of inspiration in music, in nature, dance, history, in the underground club scene. Living in Berlin for many years also shaped me, and I find it interesting to try and merge the different worlds – bringing elements usually connected to sub-cultural aesthetics into the wood, or vice versa.
I started with analogue art photography in the late 90’s, and working with moving images felt like a natural extension of that. I still do both, or all – from collage making to short films.
Learning live visuals, such as VJ-ing and video mapping, has allowed me to explore and experiment. I started playing live sets in techno clubs, then I’ve been using the same techniques in galleries and on theater stages. I’ve also done multiple live A/V collaborations with musicians and stage artists – and there’s more to come!
