Elin Már Øyen Vister is a genderqueer interdisciplinary artist, composer, and defender of land and water, based on Røst in the far south-west of the traditional Sea Sámi land Lofoten/Lofuohta/Láfot. Elin Már embraces a wide range of artistic expressions and works with experimental composition, field recording, improvisation, performance, installation, language, textiles, organic material and sensory walks. They practice an artistic research method that is slow-moving and site-specific, and which is inspired by Deep Listening, intersectional, post-colonial, and eco-feminist elements, social justice movements and indigenous methodologies. They are driven by the wish to creating space for a diversity of understandings of reality, narratives and voices, while deconstructing "given" and "normative" truths. Elin Már's work results in installations accompanied by social choreographies that take the audience out of the gallery space and into the landscape. Ongoing projects include Soundscape Røst and Deconstructing Norwegianness. They also co-operate and program the artist-in-residency program and workshop Røst AIR, at Skomvær Lighthouse.
