Address: Ekely giesteatelier, Gråbrødreveien 10F, 0377 Oslo
Floor: 1
The studio is open Sunday 27 April from 12-17
I work with analogue photography, film/video, sound and installations as media that complement each other in my exhibitions. A concentrated focus on social, political, philosophical, psychological and existential themes is central and characterises my artistic practice. At the centre of my productions is the subtle relationship between image and viewer: how an image is born, develops, matures and resonates within the viewer. Images as semiotics, as codes, and the given cultural and biological factors that shape our perception of the world, is a key aspect of my work.
