Artist statement
-- Åpent atelier lørdag 21. september 2024 --
Nedreaas works in a variety of media including drawing, sculpture and photography and
is best known for her intriguing and uncanny films. Through intimate, playful
performances and makeshift materials, her work explores our shared experience of a
temporal existence in a relentless eternity.
Nedreaas uses materials that act as a metaphor for the difficult personal (and by
implication political) entanglements people are called on to negotiate; and nods to
instances of everyday acts in which effort is present but not always acknowledged. Her
work teases to the surface the human desire to control, to excel, to fabulate, to identify, to
order, to assert oneself - all as a means to find purpose, to keep carrying on, and fundamentally, to belong.
Nedreaas’ films lie somewhere between the realms of portraiture, performance, and
documentary and are assembled into rhythmic multi-screen installations with a
symbolically rich and visual language. Her film works often portray solitary performers on the fringe of society, isolated from their usual audience and stage, absorbed in their own specialist act. Their years of practice and effort is made palpable through Nedreaas’ use of intimate close ups and her use of scratches and light spills on the film material echoing the physical scars and imperfections of a lived life, of meetings and the passage of time. Nedreaas’ visually rich and disconcerting work conveys a sense of instability and fragility, as well as a sense of agency in a world that carries on regardless.
Trine Lise Nedreaas studied art history at the University of Bergen and Fine Art in London at Central Saint Martin school of Fine Art and at the Slade School of Fine Art.
