About the artist
Eli Mai Huang Nesse (b. 1992, Sogndal) is looking into the need for shortcuts and how to prevent accidents – to maintain hope, feel secure and in control. At the moment Eli is gathering stories from people who have been trapped by landslides, visiting roads that are closed due to avalanche danger and traveling into the core of mountains to film tunnel workers. Eli has an MFA from Oslo Art Academy (2022) and a BFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2018). Her works have been shown at the Autumn Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus, ABF-huset (SE), Galleri Christinegaard, Bergen International Film Festival and Anafi International Film Festival.
