About Hilmar Fredriksen
Hilmar Fredriksen (b. 1953) is considered a pioneer in Norwegian performance art. His work includes painting, sculpture, video, installation, object, concept art and scenography and moves effortlessly between moments of everyday life and his own interest in science, religion and modern art. When these ideas are put together, a form of humorous play with the elements often arises.
