Helle Siljeholm & Ingri Fiksdal
Haunted House
The exhibition Haunted House by artists and choreographers Helle Siljeholm and Ingri Fiksdal explores the idea of home in light of Kunstnernes Hus' nearly 100-year history. The exhibition reflects on the significance of the home for society and artists, and how roles such as mother, wife, and woman have often been limiting for female artists, especially during their own lifetimes.
Focusing on deceased female artists and selected group exhibitions in the history of Kunstnernes Hus, the exhibition sheds light on how the home – as a place of safety, loss, threat, or limitation – has shaped both artistic practice and the art institution. The work is an immersive choreographic universe of light, sound, sculpture, and movement.

About the artists
Helle Siljeholm (b. 1981) is an artist and choreographer based in Oslo, currently working on a PhD at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Her artistic practice spans film, installation, sculpture, choreography, and performance. Her research project explores geological entities such as mountains and land formations, as well as their intertwining of people, nature, and culture within geological time, the present, and possible futures. Siljeholm's artistic work, research, and practice have been deeply influenced by ten years of collaboration on various artistic projects in the Middle East (Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan).
Ingri Fiksdal (b. 1982) is a choreographer based in Oslo. She holds a PhD in artistic research from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and is an affiliated researcher in the CoFutures project at the University of Oslo. Fiksdal works with choreography as a format for speculative fiction that can propose complex and diverse understandings of body, gender, species, knowledge, and history. She is currently working on a piece for The Bentway in Toronto in collaboration with director Jonas Corell Petersen.
