Work:

Film and television work, mainly on set in the Camera department and the Production department, projects include: Le Grand Marin, Katla, Felix and Klara and Gullregn.

I’m inclined to transform the mundane, to reflect on its nature and remake it on my own terms. This reconstruction is shown through an enigmatic lens, filtered through layers of ambiguity. Objects are given life, and the familiarity of things is turned on its head.

The works contemplate realities‘ guidelines. They sugar-coat facts, elucidate hidden horrors, put ordinary characters in unordinary situations and vice versa. Dimensional windows open and we peek through, briefly. They show us familiar landscapes, yet they seem alien beyond the wall: a moss-covered pit is embellished with foreign creatures, a person on a stroll vanishes and reappears into the room and inside a stone lies a being, asleep in its hollow.

Behind every narrative is a lurking mystery. The truth isn‘t always clear on the surface, both within the ideas themselves and in the way I tend to communicate them to the viewers. In turn, the audience are given permission to create their own answers to the mystery.
Consecutively, the narrative flows into the exhibition space where I construct installations including these ambiguous scenes. Viewers step into a standard room and experience alterations to it through illusions and samples of abnormal worlds. I play a specific role in the works and the viewer as well: I, as an inventor of the surreal, or we, as explorers on an escapade.
