Ponytail Winter Diaries
Utstilling DTK prosjektgalleri | 16. – 26. januar 2025
Beata Daria Kubecka, Hello the Mushroom, Margarida Paiva, Mari Sagrusten og Lilja Sighvatsdottir
Kurator: Rus Mesic
With works in different media and techniques, in Ponytail Winter Diaries, five artists recreate a place by investing a space with memory. It should be seen as a response to the alienating effect of images in the contemporary world. At its core, the artists highlight differences: divergent impulses, individual directions, and contrasting forms. It questions the possibilities of visual language and what its limits and boundaries are.

My words are in the objects I’m making. That’s my speech. That’s my language. A defense against disappearance. Thoughts and images grow at slow pace and carry memories, carry imprints of my body. They all will return to earth, just like me. So will the forms of my creation..

Margarida Paiva
Margarida Paiva (født i 1975) er en billedkunstner opprinnelig fra Portugal, bosatt i Oslo. Hun jobber med film, fotografi og installasjon. I 2007 fullførte hun en mastergrad ved Kunstakademiet i Oslo, og har tidligere studert ved Fakultet for Visuell Kunst ved Universitetet i Porto.
Fotoprosjektet “The Maiden and The Witch” er et samarbeid mellom Oslo-baserte kunstneren Margarida Paiva og London-baserte kunstneren Anaïs Lalange. Prosjektet utforsker maskens rolle i myter og folklore, der masker tradisjonelt representerer guddommer, ånder og naturkrefter. I dagens kontekst har masken fått en ny dimensjon som et symbol på aktivisme, som forsterker vår forbindelse til miljøet og kulturelle fortellinger.
Mari Sagrusten
To drømmeskapninger krøp inn i ørene mine en natt for lenge siden.
Der inne krøllet de seg sammen og sovnet. De sov så dypt at de ikke ble vekket av lys, og ble der inne for alltid. Den ene er en absurd drøm som bærer meg på ryggen gjennom natten. Den andre er en magisk orm, som snoker i drømmene mine etter svar på det absurde.
Lilja Sighvatsdottir

She has a diverse educational background, including Technical Drawing and Design from the Technical College of Reykjavik, as well as further studies at Oslo Foto Kunstskole and DTK Kunstfagskole in Bærum. She is currently pursuing further education at OsloMet in Art and Design. Her work spans various media, with a primary focus on drawing, installation, and photography.
In these blurred moments, reality fades into a dream, where faces and shapes become whispers of memory.
The soft focus invites a deeper connection, where what is felt lingers beyond what is seen.
