Ingrid Eggen lives and works in Oslo. She is educated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Institutt for Farge; Konstfack, Stockholm and the Valand Academy, Gotheburg. She mainly works with analogue colour photography and video and has commenced experimenting with sculpture during the last year. Eggen makes use of a conceptual approach to the body in her artistic practice. She explores the body’s functions and dysfunctions in relation to communication, representation, control and awareness. With the help of performative methods, Eggen looks into movements and acts where the body’s natural anatomy, non-verbal language and use of gestures are displaced, dissolved and twisted.
