Born in 1967 in Norway. Lives in Copenhagen.
He has been working for several years on a project
entiteld "men and eel ".
This work takes diverse shapes: photos, performances,
videos, objects and installations.
Fascinated by their lives and their strenght,
he manages this folk ritual, special to his home country,
with a mix of references to art history in an erotic approach.
It is a fact that this is a very delicate course,
that eels feed themselves with corpses and that allow
him to make interesting and coherent this association,
and he also diverts an important tradition in Scandinavia
not only because of its phallic image,but also
for the mistery associated to the cycle of life of this animal.
Title: "Messrs Message".
