Silje Linge Haaland is both an artist and an author, and works with video, text and installations in which she juxtaposes visual material, words, sound, sculpture and surroundings in surprising and playful ways.

 The imagery in her works is a mixture of her own video recordings, animations and found materials, and these images migrate from one medium to another, causing their ties to reality to be investigated and destabilised. Thus, the photographic image as an extractable economical resource, completely severed from context, is also a theme in her work. Linge Haaland’s works possess an innate poetic power that is able to pique the audience’s curiosity for both life’s mysteries and banalities. Her works encourage reflection upon experiences of loss, grief and desperation, but simultaneously experiences of care and wonder towards the natural world, and the human race as an intrinsically linked part of it.
