About

Mari LB Kamsvaag is a Norwegian scenographer, costume designer and visual artist. Studied Scenography at the Norwegian theatre Academy, Fredrikstad and Culture and Communication at the University of Oslo. Coming from the environment of the experimental scene she investigates forms across genres, with a particular value that all elements (visual, audial, text, smell, etc) can be of equal importance for the overall piece to come together - aka spatial composition, and collaborating with ecosystems in a broader sense.

Creating space, meetings and conversations is essential for life. By blending historic time and present time to create a future we create arches for dialogue.

She is part of the performing arts group vandrefrank, and the duo Propaganda Machine, where wonder, spatial exclusion/inclusion and micro plastic in our stomachs are focal points. She investigates specific spaces for special meetings, where experiences with all senses are main tools, and sites and genres may vary. I 2023 she became part of the curator team for Oslofjord Triennale.

Kamsvaag is also part of the scenic art troup vandrefrank (thewalkerfrank). Check out our Instagram feed here!:
