Elin Már Øyen Vister

Bio

 

Elin Már Øyen Vister is a genderqueer interdisciplinary artist, composer, and land/water defender, based on Røst in the far south-west of Lofoten/Lofuohta/Láfot, traditional Sea Sami lands.

 

Elin Már embraces a wide range of artistic expression and works with experimental composition, field recordings, improvisation, performance, installation, language/place names/linguistics, poetry/text, textiles, sculptures of organic material and so-called sensory walks.

 

 

Øyen Vister practices an artistic research method that is slow-moving and site-specific, and which is inspired by Deep Listening, intersectional, post-colonial, and eco-feminist elements, social justice movements and indigenous methodologies.

 

 

Creating space for a diversity of understandings of reality, narratives and voices is Elin Már’s driving force, together with deconstructing “given” and “normative” truths.

 

Ideally, Øyen Vister’s installations are accompanied by one/several social choreographies that take the audience physically “out of the gallery space and” into the landscape, the work they have co-created belongs to – and relates to. Øyen Vister’s ongoing major artistic research projects include “Soundscape Røst (2010-)” and “Deconstructing Norwegianness”.
