CULTURAMA Issue 45 Paris Culturama Art publishing house, magazine and Videoart platform. As part of CULTURAMA issue 45, the magazine presents an indepth dive into Anne Katrine Senstads vision and practice. Excerpt from issue 45 on Senstad:

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.” – William Blake

“While the current period pushes us, despite ourselves, to revisit the value of domestic space, Gaston Bachelard opens up new avenues to conceive it. He approaches the concept of home as a nest, a shell with corners and of intimate immensity. In The Poetics of Space, he wrote in 1957: “Forever, imagining will be greater than living.” Isn’t it one of the roles of Art to help us imagine, and thus to discover previously unexplored perspectives? Thinkers are a source of inspiration for artists. This is the case of Anne Senstad, who created her exhibition How to Live Together based on the eponymous course given by Roland Barthes at the Collège de France in 1977, with the evocative subtitle of Novelistic Simulations of Some Everyday Spaces. The resulting short film series is an autobiography about isolation. CULTURAMA presents this Norwegian artist and feminist whose approach combines aesthetics, philosophy, and search for meaning. The work of Anne Senstad, by putting phenomenology at the heart of her practice, encourages us to redefine our fields of perception through subtle combinations of light, color, sound, space, and form.”

Anne Katrine Senstad: Light Writes Always in Plural – Berlin Artlink, by Sarah Crown, 2014 .- “The media that Anne Katrine Senstad uses to express her ideas range from neon installations to projections, from photographic printing to site-specific land art. Senstad inserts light and luminous bodies in everyday spaces, whether exterior or interior, inhabited or not. And these physical places often serve as messengers from a world in which human emotions and existence are reduced to a minimum. And it’s precisely the neon work Light Writes Always in Plural which opens the discourse on the artistic production of Senstad. Inspired by the title of Octavio Paz’s essay “Water Writes Always in Plural,” on the art of Marcel Duchamp, the neon work not only emanates its bluish light into all crevices, but it is also a witty play on words and concepts about philosophy and life. Underlying this florescent tube is a careful analysis and critique of our use of language as a means of mass communication.” Read more here

Anne Katrine Senstad – A Portrait of Anita Hill, Streaming Museum, 2020: – “Anne Katrine Senstad is a Norwegian artist living between New York and Oslo since the 1990s, who has a highly acclaimed international reputation for her pioneering multi-disciplinary installations of light, video, sculpture and sound, photography, and land art. However, it is little known that in the 1990s Senstad was a portrait photographer on assignment for the New York Times Magazine and other leading publications, to photograph high visibility individuals. Senstad’s portrait sittings often took place in her Chelsea loft studio, recorded on film with a 4x 5 large format camera. Her photographs of Anita Hill captured the spirit of the remarkable woman who had become a national figure in 1991 following her testimony for the Supreme Court nomination hearing for Clarence Thomas about sexual harassment when she worked in his law office. In a recent interview Professor Hill talked about the continuing public crisis on gender violence, racism, equality and accountability, and called on all political candidates to come up with plans to deal with it as a public health crisis. “I tend to be a hopeful person,” she said.”
