B. 1966 in Norway, lives in Sweden and Norway.

1993-97 Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 1995 Escuela de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires. 1992-93 Art History, University of Oslo. 1989-91 Strykejernet Tegne- og maleskole, Oslo/Barcelona. 1988-89 Theatre Science, University of Oslo. 1988-90 Film studies, Friundervisningen, Oslo. 1987 Examen Philosophicum, University of Tromsø.

First sound art work: 1996.

 

I am interested in how we perceive the world and how our perception is shaped by history writing, and structures of power. Video installations and posters are some of the ways in which I present my work.

 

Terrorism without violence happening, Kunstnernes hus, Oslo 1998. With six assistants I set out personal alarms in exhibition spaces, stairs and toilets. My assistants activated the alarms and left the building. The alarms went on for as long as it took the museum staff to silence the noise, which took about an hour.

 

Royal Garden sound installation, Hotel Royal Garden, Trondheim 1996. In the lounge of the hotel there was an artificial waterfall surrounded by plants. I hid loudspeakers in the green and played a tape with sounds from different sources – from the sound of silent streams to powerful waterfalls.
