Heidi Morstang: A Doll's House

Heidi Morstang is a Norwegian artist who lives and works in Bristol and specialises in photography and moving image. Morstang has taken part in group exhibitions at The National Portrait Gallery in London and The Museum of Contemporary Arts and Illustration in Valencia. A Doll’s House is a moving image work influenced by Henrik Ibsen’s play of the same that has been commissioned through Picture This' Small Wonder’ scheme and supported by the Norwegian Embassy.

A Doll's House is constructed from digital video stills of a densely forested and frozen landscape, dominated by snowy hills, wide open spaces and frozen lakes. Pathways through the snow are vital visual and symbolic elements in the piece. The sound consists of ski blades cutting through the snow and also sounds of wind, silence and ice breaking.
