Maria Helena K. Nerhus

Nationality: Finnish-Norwegian
Architect, Artist, and Photographer

Maria Helena K. Nerhus (1992) is an architect with artistic practice based in Bergen(NO). Nerhus works with plural narratives unfolding in socio-cultural cases connected to the notion of a place, a concept, or an object. Through subtle acts of investigating relations between fictitious and physical spaces, territorial and geographical areas, and borders, she explores how human and non-human agency comes into play. In analogue photography, Nerhus is fascinated by spatial qualities in casual situations, and she observes accidental and dynamic changes, in the relation between the photographed object, and its awareness, of the camera’s presence.
