the norwegian artist trine lise nedreaas is perhaps best known for her fascinating and beautiful films about lone warriors. with her rigorously staged, symbolically charged documentaries about individuals, nedreaas illuminates the vast and strange diversity of human endeavours. her often humorous works are inspired by the lives of people whose ideas, talents and appearances prompt her to reflect more deeply on human existence. nedreaas’ subjects are filmed far away from the audience and spectacle that normally surrounds them, left in a timeless space where only they and their performance remain. nedreaas’ works have been exhibited at the mori art museum in tokyo, moma ps1 in new york, kunstwerke in berlin, palazzo delle arti in naples, everson museum in new york, kunstverein schwerin, new centre for contemporary art in louisville, macro, museo d’arte contemporanea in rome, art pavilion in zagreb, albright knox gallery in buffalo, the argos centre for art and media in brussels, and the astrup fearnley museum in oslo. her works are represented in public and private collections worldwide.
