As part of §112 Fredrikstad and (UN)COMMON SPACES, ØIT has invited Danish artist Nana Francisca Schottländer to work with and in landscapes around Fredrikstad. She has chosen places that are shaped by human intervention – both through the extraction of raw materials and the disposal of waste. In Material Displacements, she explores how the material flows of our modern world shape and connect landscapes, cities and bodies, both locally and globally. For a month, you will be able to experience her work through pop-up installations and interventions in the center of Fredrikstad. Welcome to an encounter with the anthroposcene Fredrikstad!

Nana Francisca Schottländer

Danish artist Nana Francisca Schottländer is an interdisciplinary artist, working with performance, choreography, video, photography, text and installations. Her works are always tailored to the context and often have a striking visual character. A main focus of her artistic practice is to embody philosophical questions, and since 2020 she has worked particularly with landscapes characterized by human intervention.
