Elisabeth Lund

In a constant search for the moment of movement, Elisabeth Færøy Lund (NO) creates different settings for an initial encounter in her performances. Whether it is between her and the audience in an exhibition space, with random people she approaches on the street, or between invited participants, she most often encourages the audience to participate actively. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art Photography from Gothenburg University, but early on developed a deeper interest in the potential of direct meetings and started focusing on performance art. Inspired by Deep Listening practice she explores the difference between hearing and listening and uses various listening exercises in her performance-improv workshops. Lofoten, Norway, is her new base and the northern region provides a new area for exploration. www.ellaferoy.tumblr.com
