Visitors 2011

Through 16mm film, installation and collage, Mai Hofstad Gunnes has developed a personal imagery based on a type of associative logic, where different layers of reality are tested against each other. Her artistic point of departure derives from an interest in concrete systems of categorisation and the translation of these into a more non-hierarchical formalist language. Her recent films, as attempts to externalize inner worlds, involve performers to focus on the embodiment and personification of architecture and science. Recent exhibitions include 'Oh how time flies', Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen, Norway (2011); 'Le choix du titre est un faux problème', Cneai de Paris, Paris, France (2011); 'Goddesses', Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo (2010); 'Pyrrhic Fortune', Sils, Rotterdam, the Netherlands (2010) and 'A shape of love you can never imagine', Oslo Fine Art Society, Oslo (2009).
