Maria Pasenau (b.1994) graduated from the Norwegian School of Photography in Trondheim. Her artistic focus encompasses photography, installation, performance, and sculpture. She has gained attention for her boundary-pushing exhibitions that address taboo subjects such as gender, body, and sexuality. In her work, she reflects on and ironically comments on contemporary self-representational media culture. Her approach is unpretentious, self-revealing, seemingly unpolished, and uncensored. Through her artistic practice, Pasenau highlights diverse expressions of what it means to be young today, intertwining sexuality with vulnerability. Notably, Pasenau is one of the youngest artists to have been acquired by the National Museum in its history.
