The work is part of a body of work, Emphatic Shapeshifting and the Imaginary. In conversation with multi-species scholarship and speculative eco feminism I explore different modes of consciousness and bodily perception through durational eco somatic performance that seek to extend corporeal and speculative connections between human and more than human creatures and biological rhythms.

This practice is tentacular and messy in conversation with Ecofeminist movements, Extinction studies and multispecies scholarship that propose alternative ways of being and relating to other animals and matter. Thinking and dancing with, I entangle myself in nonlinear stories that exist in the liminal space of potential, somewhere between land and my imagination. imagining what Donna Haroway calls an "elsewhere that was, still is, and might yet be", I explore somatic gestures that reflect on alternative movement patterns in collaboration with non human matter. Blending my spatial temporality with these morphing bodies I explore the transformative possibilities and power of networked ecosystems, where matter and life goes through continuous biological, ecological and spiritual cycles of death and rebirth. The video installation, "Shapeshifting Bodies," seeks to mirror and convey an essence of these affective earth-body experiences, using the alchemy of color intensities, materiality, and sound to generate new embodied-meaning productions toward eco-healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e36496e4b0910e8377cf69/1570483715737-7T88H1NTMH7JSKG77LLB/jhghv.jpg projects - River Rite(s) 2018 3 channel vide Installation displayed on 3 monitors, Brightsign Synched, ethernet cords.

Malmo Kunstforening, Sensate Bodys & release of Delta an Ocean Call, 2021 Multichannel hydro-choreographic Artistic intervention, Mattering Oil at Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology in the permanent oil exhibition reimagining oil ontologies interconnected with interspecies and human health. Created within the residency Climata, Capturing change at a time of Ecological crisis at Praksis Oslo Building on feminist scholarship and my own somatic research I'm working with ice as a speculative antibody to oil in the oil fairytale exhibition. To feel and animate fluid ontologies, I follow the rhythms of sea ice in the Oslo Fjord, a fjord undergoing dramatic change impacted by a warming atmosphere. Through hydro-choreographies I mourn current extractive practices and social imaginaries that make the extraction of oil possible – seeking to move through and beyond the extractive zone, multi-sensorial narrating embodied relationships to environmental change. This approach is Inspired by theories within posthuman and environmental dance and Macarena Gómez-Barris book “Beyond the Extractive Zone '' – Social Ecologies and Decolonial perspectives. Through the artistic research project WATERFLUX ICEGUT(s) I seek to animate and queer the dynamisms of ice as shifting sea-agent. The project is an embodied response to increasing ocean temperatures and sea ice melting in the Barents Sea and the arctic. The same areas also hold large pockets of oil at the bottom of the sea, that when extracted contribute to ice melting through the warming of the atmosphere. Ice and oil are in this way entangled. Through scale, movement, and multiple projection surfaces, Water membranes in flux and human bodies precariously entwine as the solitary figure navigates changing seascapes and submerged ecologies past and present, embodying precarious interspecies corporeal water-futures. The work was filmed with and in the Oslo Fjord winter of 2020- 2021 dancing with Ice in flux. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e36496e4b0910e8377cf69/1786540110265-D1RUDIXZV382YTELES38/sensate_drifter%28s%29+%281080p%29+2_2026-08-12_15-07-24-477.jpeg projects Sensate Drifters, single channel video installation 2020 Installation Image from the exhibition Feelers: Towards Reciprocal Sensing, part of the Fulcrum Festival 2022 Deep Ocean/ Deep Space, LA . Curated by Supercollider. Installation Images by Brian Gambers. Curatorial Statement of the exhibition “ The climate crisis originated in an unraveling, with human animals becoming disentangled from their nested ecologies and instead self-envisioned as central planetary figures. In the process, privileged human forms of sensing, perceiving, and intelligence were made dominant, pushing a rich diversity of ways of knowing and feeling to the margins. How might sensing and thinking with vegetal, animal, and other multispecies intelligences reconfigure our planetary relations? How might dominant knowledge systems be reconnected with marginalized wisdoms? And how might we seek shared sensory understandings with beings very different from us, from the deep recesses of the sea to extraterrestrial life? The exhibition FEELERS proposes an expanded sensoria, complicating our understanding of feeling, sensing, and knowing. Affirming a plurality of sense-making, the exhibited artworks adopt deliberate and exploratory methods that reorient humans in relation to more-than-human beings, complicate notions of intelligence, and re-introduce perspectives outside of our own. In doing so, they generate new possibilities for respecting and connecting with multispecies understandings” http://www.esvkunst.com/innstallation-in-public-space daily 1.0 2026-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e36496e4b0910e8377cf69/1573752352245-ZUU43RQ6HFQJJRU2A6U6/Submerged+Narratives_Innstallation.jpg Public Works Submerged Gestures, outdoor video installation, HD video projection on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e36496e4b0910e8377cf69/1624911356798-TOZSS92AMZMO5LH9LWJ8/lure_of_slowness_main+image.png Public Works Elly Vadseth with Boris Kourtoukov, The Lure of Slowness, Hydrological Rhythms, 2021.

SYKLUS MEMORIA is 6 meter tall and 2,5 meter wide, connecting two floors and different living zones. The work changes throughout the seasons and fills the heart of the building, the entrance area, downstairs sensory garden and cantine with sound of water in flux for visitors, residents and staff who reside in the building, work or come visit . Durational and sitespesific the video portraits narrate with sound and image, simultaneously intimate and monumental watery worlds and their interconnected ecologies. Throughout the year Ice melts, rivers meld and flow with organic matter, River grasses dance and kelp and snow shapeshift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e36496e4b0910e8377cf69/1786538914595-RZI7LCBPXCAF9S27U962/DSC_9844-2+copy.png Public Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e36496e4b0910e8377cf69/1725184698656-5RPX442B5SMRW7CXOOWS/edit11.jpg Public Works http://www.esvkunst.com/about daily 0.75 2026-07-05
