Concrete is Stranger than Fiction in collaboration with architect Cristian Stefanescu
2017, at Hordaland Kunstsenter, Bergen, Norway
An exhibition in progress working through source material (photograph, video, measurements) we’ve collected of abandoned industrial building along the rail track between Bucharest - Brailla, Romania.
The final instalment consisted of a scenographic, linear display of the cardboard models, placed on the elongated side of the space. Visitors entered a dark room, slowly as their eyes adjust to the room they notice a light track. As the light moves on the track it illuminates the cardboard models. The light created shadows of the models along the wall, simulating the experience of looking over a landscape while in a moving vehicle/train.
All Digressions Aside
2016, Barents Spektakel, Kirkenes, Norway and Nikel, Russia
This is a twofold outdoors installation connecting neighbouring towns Kirkenes and Nikel. The project consisted of two identical storytelling huts, one in each town. Each hut housed a live-stream of the landscape and stories of the neighbouring city. The stories were controlled by temperature sensors, measuring the heat produced by the fire inside each hut. When a visitor enters one of the huts, and lights the fireplace, a sensor sends stories from one hut to the other. The stories were about the locals day-to-day lives, and how they perceive their environment; both places affected by pollution from the mining industries.

Without Waiting for her Reply
2014, USF-visningsrommet, Bergen Norway
I n s t a l l a t i o n c o n t a i n i n g t w o w o o d e n constructions, a video projection, weight sensors, 2 channel - synced video loop 40’’ and sound
A night exhibition, showing the sun rising in Thailand in real time. The amount of visitors in the space, determined the rotation of the webcam in Thailand, so that the framing of the image on the screen was directly related to the visitors presence.The wood structures are based on Thai rest houses, the 2 channel video showed on one side images of repetitive everyday actions, and the village band performing traditional songs and on the other side, text translating the conversations during the activities and translating the song.
