Trine Lise Nedreaas (b. 1972, Bergen, Germany) is perhaps best known for her intriguing and beautiful films of lone performers. Through strictly directed, symbolically charged documentary based films of individuals, Nedreaas illuminates the large and the strange variety of human endeavors. Drawing from a long history of portraiture, her often humorous work is inspired by the lives of people through whose ideas, talents, and demeanor she seeks a deeper reflection on the human condition. Nedreaas’ performers are filmed removed from the audiences and the spectacle that usually surround them, and they are left in a timeless space with only themselves and their acts remaining.
Nedreaas attended the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, the Central Saint Martin College of Art & Design, London, and the University of Bergen, Norway. Her work has been shown through Times Square Arts on the billboards in Times Square, at Personal Structures as part of the Venice Biennial, in the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), PS1 Moma (NY), Kunstwerke (Berlin), Palazzo delle Arti (Napoli), Everson Museum (NY), Kunstverein Schwerin, New Center for Contemporary Art (Louisville), MACRO, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Rome), Art Pavilion in Zagreb, Albright Knox Gallery (Buffalo, NY), Astrup Fearnley (Oslo). She is represented in public and private collections worldwide. The artist lives and works in Bergen, Norway.
