Franciska Seifert Eliassen
Franciska Eliassen (b.1997) works explore ecofeminism, geopolitics and our relation to nature. While doing her BA in film at the Nordland University College of Art and Film in Lofoten, she built a hut of soil and driftwood in the mountains where she lived for one and a half year. Know as "Norway's most primitive art residency" people now live there for free to connect to nature. Another notable work is her short film Blue borders, From the refugee camp Moria. The Film premiered at the prestigious annual National Art Exhibition in 2019 together with the pilot of Sister, What Grows Where Land is Sick? called Sister. She recently started a MFA at the National Academy of Arts in Oslo combining it with ecology, philosophy and AI honours studies at the University in Oslo. She is also a committed climate activist, investigating new approaches to a sustainable future through her artistic practise.
