Artist statement

-- Åpent atelier lør 21.sept 2024, kl 12-17--

Serné's work often starts from conversations with others, for example with biologists or people suffering from insomnia. It revolves around topics that exist at the intersection of the biological and the cultural. This results in constellations of media such as video, performance and textiles. She gathers specific images and sounds on location that serve as ingredients in her work, these elements are then intuitively arranged into new storylines.
