In Linn Pedersen's photographic work, the documentary merges with poetry in depictions of discarded consumer goods, landscape sceneries, constructions and human figures demonstratively turned away from the camera. The images are examinations of the unstable border between the common and the idealised, where atmospheric conditions, emotional projections and contemporary cultural phenomena taint the motifs. 'De innbygde' in 2010 at Maria Veie Gallery was her first solo show in Norway, which included photography, sculpture, collage and video/film as well as the artist book Stub (Lord Jim Publishing). Other recent exhibitions include 'Scandinavian Forest', Akershus Kunstnersenter, Lillestrøm, Norway (2011); 'X Artworks in a straight line (Seeking the perfect sphere)', CRISP, London, UK (2010) and 'Weird Science', Waterside project space, London (2010). She holds a BA from the Bergen National Academy of the Arts, Bergen, Norway and an MA from Central Saint Martins in London. Pedersen was the curator of LIAF 2011 (Lofoten International Art Festival, Lofoten, Norway) together with Thora Dolven Balke.
