There is what we see, and then there is what we can’t see in Thyra Dragseth’s new exhibition. Take this black and white photo of a perplexed boy with a giant teddy bear. He stands up in what looks like a garden, just in front of a path, leading us into the next picture – and then, cut! – a glowing border, shadows, and a dim, narrow view of familiar branches and leaves; a dark sky. Or what about this man, lying on his side, attached to his ear (and not his mouth) a metal sex toy. Wouldn’t it be straightforward to think of this an erotic, feministic punchline (submit to my words!)? Had it not been for the dark green wilderness coming in from the right… What is this insisting nature, eating its way into the motives here? Dragseth has stuck her hand into a wasp’s nest: her own family history. From a small tin can, she has exposed negatives from her grandmothers’ and her parents’ personal archive, developing them into large prints and tiny series mounted with tape in rough aluminium frames. Rather than showing history as a linear, or even subjective narrative, Dragseth’s photographic collages of both inherited and self-experienced material let us look at the past as a series of fragmented clashes. In her works, the documenting properties of photography are both enhanced and repressed. What we see is the result of a transparent, manipulative process: negatives cut, taped, scratched, exposed and enlarged. Moments and subjects from distant times and point of views, forced together in a twisted narrative, balance on the edge between confession and concealment. Several of the found images reveal scenes from a ship where Dragseth's grandfather worked as a ship's mechanic, and where his wife (Dragseth’s grandmother) went along two times. They left their two little boys at home for several years, to earn money and experience the world, each other, and life at sea. As a retold story it is difficult to grasp. As developed pictures, however, it is possible to approach some sort of understanding, if not outright identification. The changing perspective across the works leave us in a somewhat ambivalent position. The images from the galley transmit waves of sex, love, freedom and a kind of happiness that only escapism can produce. We know it, we long for it, and we live with the rupture it creates in our lives. We go to the limit – but most times, no further than that. Because the pursuit of euphoria is too costly, says the child, who only knows her own euphoria, her life by virtue of her parents. On the contrary, the parent looks forward to the child falling asleep again. And let us dwell for a bit on the child… In Dragseths compositions there are children all over: unknown children, children who are parents, parents as children. The artist herself stares hazily at us from a parallel world, her hands full of mud. Here we are talking about another kind of limit; the crossing of times, the boundary between the historic accuracy of photography and representation as such. In his text A preface to Transgression, philosopher Michel Foucault describes the complex, yet dynamic relationship between transgression and limit “a limit could not exist if it were absolutely uncrossable and, reciprocally, transgression would be pointless if it merely crossed a limit composed of illusions and shadows. But can the limit have a life of its own outside of the act that gloriously passes through it and negates it? What becomes of it after this act and what might it have been before?” In Dragseths exhibition we find ourselves in this room of possibilities and impossibilities, with an intimate distance that lets us identify with both child and adult at the same time. To moralise is not in her interest. Rather, her work allows us – and herself – to face our own humanity; our drives and ambitions, our life force, our vulnerability. Dragseth walks with us to the limit, to the edge that simultaneously connects and separates the sublime and the catastrophic, to show us the aesthetics of transgression. - Sofie Amalie Andersen March 2026 <img width="3750" height="2500" width_o="3750" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d843e9c7574aa5214b6ab31dffdd9c2dd9cb9bee59ba731f5022264df73ba741/_DSC5357-Edit-web.jpg" data-mid="247570675" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d843e9c7574aa5214b6ab31dffdd9c2dd9cb9bee59ba731f5022264df73ba741/_DSC5357-Edit-web.jpg" /> <img width="3750" height="2500" width_o="3750" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/12e0edd6c9426f918b1b1ad6ea0001fba4cdccd82d967d7986b15ea49e524d1a/_DSC4781-Edit-web.jpg" data-mid="247570677" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/12e0edd6c9426f918b1b1ad6ea0001fba4cdccd82d967d7986b15ea49e524d1a/_DSC4781-Edit-web.jpg" /><img width="3750" height="2500" width_o="3750" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9964bc3538bfb5079fd49f3c9e07545c50c6750099d2aa79deeb5f7fba1da1d5/_DSC7938-Edit-web.jpg" data-mid="247570674" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9964bc3538bfb5079fd49f3c9e07545c50c6750099d2aa79deeb5f7fba1da1d5/_DSC7938-Edit-web.jpg" /><img width="3750" height="2500" width_o="3750" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45a3ec1678b74956b118fff654a0721bc3b42417523f88fb6c32ba9894c59f2e/_DSC5362-Edit-web.jpg" data-mid="247570676" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45a3ec1678b74956b118fff654a0721bc3b42417523f88fb6c32ba9894c59f2e/_DSC5362-Edit-web.jpg" /><img width="3750" height="2500" width_o="3750" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2fc75974bfdfd14b7a055b001f338f4039f3df42e48cd917214ef9b1d79b7247/_DSC4773-Edit-web.jpg" data-mid="247570673" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2fc75974bfdfd14b7a055b001f338f4039f3df42e48cd917214ef9b1d79b7247/_DSC4773-Edit-web.jpg" /> <img width="1333" height="1775" width_o="1333" height_o="1775" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5aa933d1729f90d176ea8adf0b8e7bb32640ef8f62dd0bb57b4ac1fa73b906e9/IMG_0135-copy.jpg" data-mid="238809511" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5aa933d1729f90d176ea8adf0b8e7bb32640ef8f62dd0bb57b4ac1fa73b906e9/IMG_0135-copy.jpg" /> Installation view En Trance, 160 x 84 cm, (2024)&nbsp;from the exhibition and all the light that grind-cores curated by Hedda Grevle Ottesen, at GRAC Norway, Kristiansand.&nbsp;

Thyra Dragseth, 2024. Marbles is a transgeneric love story about conflict and relationship dynamics, refraction and fragmentation. The exhibition consists of a series of sculptural interventions and a film, presented in four chapters with an asynchronous soundtrack. Set within a domestic, yet alienating space, the film gradually turns into a hall of broken mirrors as the two protagonists (assumed lovers) unwillingly play out a dialectical game of recognition and estrangement. They may want the same, feel the same, but contradiction has become the only possible movement as the identity of each is a reduction to a mirrored singularity, a totality, therefore, a stopping of movement. The title of the show, Marbles, refers to both the combative and psychological aspects of relationship conflicts: playing with and potentially losing one’s marbles, serving heartbreaking oneliners towards that other person for all the marbles worth. In the exhibition, such marbles form a column that reveals and disguises what is at stake, while the fragmented desires and fears of the protagonists continually play each other off the board. Meanwhile, the changing perspectives – the mirror effect – removes any chances of reconciliation and leaves the scene unsettled and fractured.

Through images organised in a stop motion like animation, a two-faced golem figure appears isolated against a black surrounding. The figure, trapped in an eternal repetitive loop of running forwards and backwards, is projected onto seven layers of thin aluminium mesh where parts of the image are inevitably lost. Their face, split in two, stems from 3D scans of the faces of the artist’s son and father, encapsulating the two in one body, seeking resemblance between generations. The projection is repeated onto each layer, like possible worlds with possible lives, belonging to the past and the future. The translucent qualities of the materials making up the screens enhance the presence of the imperceptible; like a pattern you cannot escape; or trauma stored in muscle tissue; or a developing disease. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="1576" height="2362" width_o="1576" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2de84501d8c564919a0e2d71cd78afb8e653091bf8e97f2bbf851c10d38de6e9/4O1A1931-copy.JPG" data-mid="238851247" border="0" data-scale="75" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2de84501d8c564919a0e2d71cd78afb8e653091bf8e97f2bbf851c10d38de6e9/4O1A1931-copy.JPG" /> <img width="2362" height="1576" width_o="2362" height_o="1576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6530aba66dcb85be2a0d48813ed52c3736e0c5a3e73e2f6f87c5c6867678cde6/4O1A0966-copy.jpg" data-mid="238851301" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6530aba66dcb85be2a0d48813ed52c3736e0c5a3e73e2f6f87c5c6867678cde6/4O1A0966-copy.jpg" /> Installation view echo looped looped echo, from the exhibition&nbsp;oh mother a face in the floor mother oh&nbsp;at Gallery K4, Oslo, 2025.&nbsp; We see: Two facing images of a two-faced golem creature; walking, sleeping, pondering, crying, laughing by themselves in a sad looking cruise ship cabin, or in an abandoned shipway, somewhere unknown.

Dragseth proposes in the work that addiction is a source of an inward “twoness,” of two you’s battling. It is an experience of living with a split and fragmented self that can lead to egodystonic thoughts or behaviours, like dreams, compulsions, or desires that come into conflict with one’s ideal self. Mirroring, as motif and method is explored in various forms throughout the work. The sound is composed of ambient music made with Marco Antão, and music from the album Crispy Light by Portuguese artist Adriana João. Animation is made with the Norwegian artist Tim Høibjerg.

I et kjent essay fra 1978 trekker han opp en akse for fotografiets virkeområde mellom å være «vindu» mot verden eller «speil» mot fotografen. Altså var kameraets handlingsrom enten å være dokumentarisk og objektivt (reportasjefotografiet) eller på fotografens og kunstnerens vegne subjektivt, selvgranskende og opplevelsesbasert. Det skulle følgelig peke enten utover mot virkelige hendelser og fenomener, eller mot fotografen selv og hennes indre liv. Men hva skjer med bildet når et fotografi verken gjør det ene eller det andre? Hvordan skal vi forstå fotografier som først og fremst synes å ville peke innover – ikke mot fotografen, men mot seg selv? Thyra Dragseths utstilling A Selva Fria på Agder Kunstsenter presenterer et utvalg bilder som motsetter seg kategorisering eller plassering på noen «akse». Motivkretsen er en overlapp og videreføring av bildene kunstneren viste på galleriet MELK i Oslo i 2021. Ved første møte opptrer bildene uten sammenheng. De er avbildninger av tilsynelatende konkrete situasjoner, gjenstander og skikkelser, men samtidig er de ribbet for informasjon om de samme gjenstandene og skikkelsene. Vi ser bilder av vegetasjon og utsnitt av interiører; nærbilder av en hundebæsj i snøen, og noe som ser ut som en brownie, halvveis innpakket i plast, på et kjøkkenbord. En naken kvinne innhyllet i forførerisk rødt lys står ruvende i en dominant positur, med kjønnet demonstrativt mot oss, og holder oss fast med blikket. En rest av sølvfarget emballasje flyter i irrgrønt vann. Andre motiver er ute av fokus, og framtrer mer som poetiske, impresjonistiske øyeblikksbilder – trivielle synsinntrykk, impulsivt fanget på film. Andre synes truende, som jenta som halvt vendt mot oss stirrer skrekkslagent eller utfordrende mot kameraet, eller den tilsynelatende nakne skikkelsen sittende i vinduskarmen, halvt skjult bak revnete gardiner. Utstillingens tittel, A Selva Fria, betyr «kald jungel» eller «den kalde jungelen» på portugisisk, og antyder at Dragseths fotografier har en forbindelse til hennes andre hjemland (hun bor og arbeider delvis i Lisboa og Kristiansand). Hun har i tidligere arbeider eksponert et mer selvbiografisk prosjekt, men sammenstillingene i A Selva Fria antyder ingenting konkret for en utenforstående betrakter, verken i geografisk eller biografisk forstand. Jungelen kan slik befinne seg hvor som helst, i oss eller utenfor oss. Den er kanskje å forstå som den uoversiktlige massen av substanser, hendelser og gestalter som utgjør erfaringen – vår erkjennelse og livshorisont. Opplevelsen å bli holdt utenfor, og samtidig dratt inn i bildenes både gåtefulle og konfronterende ikonografi avspeiler en forestillingsverden som både er allmenn – slik alle kan oppleve den fysiske og sosiale verden som et felles, objektivt anliggende – og personlig, utilgjengelig for andre. Dragseths bilder er konkrete og trivielle i sin tilsynelatende interesseløse registrering av tilfeldige gjenstander og situasjoner. Samtidig er informasjonen redusert til et nivå hvor motivene blir abstrakte, og fotografiene ikke lenger snakker om noe utenfor seg selv. Det Dragseths fotografier først og fremst peker på er bildet som skaper sin egen virkelighet.

The fire spread over 45.000 hectare and took 66 human lives. Resulting in huge areas becoming empty and uninhabitable. Forest fires have historically been a threat in the area, but the phenomena seems to be only increasing. The eucalyptus tree, introduced to the Portuguese flora at the end of the 18th century, today covers around 7 precent of the country’s area, and is a tree known for its highly flammable qualities. In some cases, it can explode when exposed to extreme heat, fragments can travel up to a 100 meters, resulting in a fire spreading rapidly and aggressively. In October 2017 the artist Thyra Dragseth set out with a camera, into the forest north of Lisbon, with her friend and colleague Yen Proesmans. This excursion, intertwined with other footage resulted in the work In Search of Dead(ly) Fires. A four channel video installation where the ambiguous photographic gaze has become the focal point of the work itself. In the attempt to depict the landscape and the fateful events that have taken place, the photographer looses her innocence. The artists gaze is both compassionate and opportunistic. Whilst showing the spectator the harsh reality, the erotic and aesthetic in the experience is ultimately emphasised. The same landscapes that portray this horrific disaster, are manipulated to create something beautiful. The work investigates violence in its different manifestations. The artist visually explores our almost perverse fascination to violence, circling the bruised body like a vulture. Though traumas, present in the nature, and present to the people wandering these landscapes are captured, it reaches a point were it is impossible to separate the cameras sober footage from the fascination of the catastrophe belonging to the eye looking through the lens.

This desperate need to understand someone or something becomes an important note in the conversations. Instead of seing and hearing the interviews from the West Bank, we see the artist in conversation with her colleague Iris Bengtsson. Conflict Consumption discusses the ethics around being a visual artist in situations like this, whilst at the same time clinging on to the starting point of the project namely Necropolitics. Necropolitics, from Achille Mbembe (b.1957) is the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die. Necropolitics is a theory of the walking dead, namely a way of analysing how "contemporary forms of subjugation of life to the power of death" forces some bodies to remain in different states of being located between life and death. Mbembe uses the examples of slavery, apartheid, the colonisation of Palestine and the figure of the suicide bomber to show how different forms of necropower over the body (statist, racialised, a state of exception, urgency, martyrdom) reduce people to precarious conditions of life. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81c8741a3ac6f2f516fd6986d3b59936585bce21003cebd01238d38112c32911/_DSC0582.jpg" data-mid="53190235" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81c8741a3ac6f2f516fd6986d3b59936585bce21003cebd01238d38112c32911/_DSC0582.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2887" width_o="2000" height_o="2887" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ffcaace9216068894abe79ac7bd3864047ff1731c386a4acb0addb86eb39ab4b/_DSC0639.jpg" data-mid="53190239" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ffcaace9216068894abe79ac7bd3864047ff1731c386a4acb0addb86eb39ab4b/_DSC0639.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5994cefc0136dcff056ae229994bf7747f76bfd65f7bef7fe8832d32b7dbad1a/_DSC0577.jpg" data-mid="53190234" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5994cefc0136dcff056ae229994bf7747f76bfd65f7bef7fe8832d32b7dbad1a/_DSC0577.jpg" />Installation view from Kunstakademiets Bachelor graduates exhibition, 2019, Ila Pensionate, Oslo.&nbsp; https://thyradragseth.com/Avlat Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:47:10 +0000 thyradragseth https://thyradragseth.com/Avlat Avlat Full HD 16:9, Colour, Sound 2016 11 minutes With Jesper Lind and Pia Ribu&nbsp; By Marthe Thu and Thyra Dragseth Avlat is a film that examines gender dominance, nature and nurture, and power in and between relationships. The film is a monologue based psychological drama depicting a masochistic male role, where a woman considers and listens to his immersion into his own psyche. The dominance of gender and typical gender roles gives the work a strong feministic connotation. The film is inspired by David Foster Wallace`s novel "Brief Interviews with hideous men" published in 1999 by Little Brown and Company.

Dragseth primarily works with video, photography and sound, but her practice also borders into areas of installation, sculpture and text. Leaning on autobiographical traditions, her work critically engages in questions of truth and perception. Dragseth source material that are in close proximity to her personal life, working closely with family members and colleagues alike, positioning her practice within an on going feminist context, as well as challenging patriarchic ideas within artistic production. She is preoccupied with investigations of societal roles, more precisely how we inhabit various roles or positions within families, relationships or professional contexts. Her work scrutinises inherited, gender and class based, social and emotional patterns, exercised both outwards, and inwards as self- reflexive processes. In recent projects her coherent interest in relations expands into studies of spatial relations, as well as interaction. Emphasising the possibilities of meaning that lies in between the elements of the works, such as sound, image, container, context, etc. leading the subject toward a conceptual reading of what consistutes the work, opening up to the dimensions of the unseen and the unheard. Uniting an apparent “disparity” in her practice is a feeling of the artists own presence within the works, either in flesh, or as an observer, reflecting on the reality of her own perception and knowledge. Dragseth co-initiated the discursive platform and exhibition project Lars Lisboa (2021-2023), hosting events of critical thinking in relation to artistic processes, and an exhibition program under the curatorial framework of exhibiting in private homes.
