About the artist
Anastasia Isachsen
Originally from Norway, Anastasia Isachsen is a visual artist and curator specializing in projections and light art. She creates video art for various international cultural projects such as festivals, concerts and dance performances, whereby she enjoys working together with other artists including musicians, poets or choreographers. Her work can be seen as minimalistic and graphic, but her art is always rich in visual meaning and symbolism which gives her work a philosophical edge. ‘The connection between intellectual and emotional aspects is what makes my work a complete experience, that people want to see time and time again. I hope that the same is true of Monad at GLOW.’
A fun fact is that she also organises light art festivals. Anastasia is the artistic director and curator of Fjord Studio, a studio specialising in the compilation and execution of light art productions in Norway. Twice a year she produces the light art festivals Fjord Oslo and Fjord Geiranger. ‘I absolutely love what I do. I love the periods of creation, deep concentration, and the feeling of being connected with something bigger than myself. I love our new art form, light art, and by both being an artist and founding our two light art festivals I am contributing to its development and sharing it with our wonderful audiences.’
