Maria Helena K. Nerhus (f. 1992) is an architect with artistic practice based in Bergen. She works with plural narratives and perspectives unfolding in socio-cultural cases connected to the notion of a place, a concept, or an object. Through subtle acts of investigating relations between fictitious and physical spaces, territorial and geographical areas and borders, she explores how human and non-human agency comes into play.
