Marie Sjøvold (b. 1982) works with photography, video and photo books. In her photographic work, she tells universal stories where she often uses experiences from her own life and her own family, but she always plays with the boundaries between what is real and what is fiction. She has an intimate and playful approach to themes with an existential seriousness. Her books and exhibitions consist of both staged photographs and photographic documents. Sjøvold works consciously across photographic genres, to ask questions about the strength of photography as a witnesses of truth and our perception of reality.
