ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Igor Trepeshchenok (b. 1984, Riga, Latvia) is a photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. He studied photography at Falmouth University in England.
Trepeshchenok works primarily with long-term documentary projects, exploring changing landscapes through quiet observation and intuitive documentation.
His work has included following Catholic pilgrims through economically challenged regions of eastern Latvia, and documenting post-industrial mining towns in Cornwall, UK. He is currently working in the Harz Mountains in Germany, where he investigates themes of loneliness and loss in a landscape of dying spruce forests, while exploring the relationship between human activity and natural processes along Hamburg’s 100 km long “Green Ring”.

Stensland works in the fields of video, text, drawing, music, performance and sculpture. She was one of the artists in the studio program of the Norwegian Artists' Association (2020-2023). Stensland worked in the Scandinavian art group High Heel Sisters (2002-2007), and was one of the initiators behind the Marienborg project space and studio community in Trondheim (2005-2010).
In recent years she has had solo exhibitions at Møre og Romsdal Kunstsenter (2022), Kunstbanken Hedmark (2020), RAM gallery (2017).

Ingvild Melberg Eikeland (b. 1989) completed a master's degree in art at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts in 2019 and now lives and works in Stavanger. She has exhibited at Stavanger Kunstmuseum, Andersson/Sandström (Stockholm), Galleri Punkt (Oslo), Studio 17 (Stavanger) and Photoworks (Glasgow), among others.
Eikeland's artistry combines various media and materials, such as sculpture, photography, video and programming, where the works are presented as installations. Her practice is based on questions related to experiences of our world through local and global narratives, and how different perceptions arise, are shared, shaped and changed through the establishment of myths.
