Jenny Berger Myhre's work revolves around personal documentation and archives, intimacy, memory, reality and re-contextualisation. As a multidisciplinary artist working with sound, video and photography, most of her practice is focused on collaborations.
Berger Myhre's sound work is created with field recordings, fragments of melodies, computer generated sequences, modular synths and lo-fi electronics – resulting in soundscapes with references to both the electro-acoustic tradition as well as experimental pop music. Berger Myhre seeks to remove the expectations of virtuous musical gestures by focusing on the sounds in themselves, and the mental images they produce in us. She is inspired by listening as a relational act – a way to connect to the world and to other beings.
The piece for PARABOL, Chidoribashi, is composed with field recordings from Osaka (2017) and Mexico City (2018) and violin performed and arranged by Cisser Mæhl. Curated by Julie Lillelien Porter in response to the exhibitions Re-Monument by Nina Sanadze and Smashing Monuments by Sebastián Díaz Morales at Kunsthall 3,14.
