6 UNTITLED min A barefoot person carries a circular mirror in a mountainous landscape towards the sea. Clouds in motion appear in two rectangular mirrors set in the countryside, in contrast to a cloudless sky. The film contains landscape elements that do not quite fit together. The sound design builds unrest and is used as an active undertone in the story. The structure is located in the determined gait and the landscape reflection. The film addresses the imaginary and the urge to unite polar contrasts. The film has a surprising moment; it addresses the imaginary and the urge to unite polar contrasts. Passord: Untitled2013

7 BARDO :58 min The title is taken from Tibetan Buddhism and means the intermediate state, which has three stages. The narrative of the video is carried by a figure, covered and concealed by a mantle of ropes from the sea, during three stages. In the first stage, the figure emerges from the soil, while a car passes by and an airplane takes off. In the second, the figure is moving on the ground and towards the sea. In the third and final stage, the figure steps into the sea and floats along with the waves and currents. The film addresses the individual s inadequacy in the face of a global environmental crisis.

10 The art work Ekho focuses on the winners and losers in the writing of history and on how this is defined. The starting point is the history of the sonar an instrument that was invented in Stavanger and which has had a profound influence on both the fishing- and oil industries. However, the inventor behind the sonar, Hans Sundt Berggraf, is not the person holding the patent. The Ekho installation at Stavanger Maritime Museum shows the fragile sonar made out of paper. The paper has been taken from the book The History of Stavanger volume 3 the volume which should have contained this history. The sonar has been neatly placed on the book. Next to it you can see the publication as it was portrayed in Teknisk Ukeblad of In addition, a sonar-like equipment has been installed at the exhibition in order to measure how close you are to the installation and history. The display is a part of Museum Stavanger`s exhibition Who owns the history? Power, art and democracy, which takes place at four different museums in Stavanger. Eight artists focus on the function the museum has 200 years after the Norwegian constitution was signed.

12 Ivy - A liberating troll Installation: ivy branch, paper strips, pulpit, white sheets, pencil, paper shredder, headphones. - Ivy Ivy is symbolic of how the soul lives on after physical death. According to paganism and witchcraft ivy has a cooling effect and stimulates to deep thoughts. Magic use of the plant will result in healing and protection, true love, fidelity, fertility, friendship and marriage, joy and cooperation. It will protect against accidents and negativity. - A liberating troll Refers to the ugliness of the underworld which is often dangerous but also appears to be stupid and silly. The expression to come true, meaning that something negative will happen if one talks about it, based on the notion noaord* and taboos, which is an ancient fear of mentioning evil forces or hazards by their right names. The installation consists of an old ivy branch covered in shredded paper facing a pulpit. At the pulpit is a set of headphones encouraging you to write down something that you want to get rid of. The paper shreds through an opening in the pulpit. The shredded paper comes out through a hole in the front of the pulpit and is by then turned into confetti which is either sprinkled over the ivy branch or the floor. * Noaord are replacements for words that are hazardous according to religion or beliefs.
