About Lise Bjørne:
I spit, I scream, I whisper to activate materials like ashes, a recycle of my earlier works, burned for this purpose. Or I take my pulse and trace its imprint onto large scale paper. I do performances in the darkroom, leaving its trace on large photographic paper. I engage communities in relation to abuse of women. Through stitching the victim’s names and hearing their individual stories, these women’s presence are forwarded, simultaneously as I collect the trace of each participant through their handwriting.
Although I often use my own body and myself as a tool, my concerns are not of a private character, but directed to experiences we all share, as living beings.
