In Eli Mai Huang Nesse's solo exhibition, stories about rockfalls, tunnels, and the lottery intertwine into a video installation about human resilience, coping mechanisms, and hope, and the boundaries between luck and magic.

About the artist

How do you deal with the fact that everything suddenly can come crashing down? 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.

Undergrowth

The exhibition with Huang Nesse inaugurates a new series at Kunstnernes Hus, Undergrowth, which focuses on young artists. Undergrowth refers both to the age of the artists and to the artist-driven scene that the initiative aims to connect with, as well as to the fundamental principles of sustainability underpinning the project. Undergrowth is supported by the Bergesen Foundation and Talent Norway.
