With Images [and Talking Back to Them] the artist and filmmaker Sara Eliassen presents a film installation in the lower exhibition hall and a program at Kunstnernes Hus Cinema. The project deals with image politics and the media's role as active agent in the production of collective memories, and is based on many years of research and dialogue with artists and thinkers between Norway and Mexico.

Sara Eliassen (b. 1977) is an artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. Images [and Talking Back to Them] is made with support by Fritt Ord, Fond for lyd og bilde and KHiO, and is the final instalment of Mediating Uncertainties, Eliassen’s PhD project in artistic research at Oslo National Academy of the Arts – Academy of Fine Art: mediatinguncertainties.com.

The exhibition is part of an expanded focus on presenting moving image-based works bridging the cinema and exhibition spaces at Kunstnernes Hus, funded by Fritt Ord and Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.
