“Elin Berge’s photography is genuine. It originates in honesty. She has continuously worked in the same territories of ideas and remains firmly rooted in them.  She possesses the delicacy to be open for what she encounters. Her work is not judgmental, only curious. Just as within philosophy, she’s able to ask questions rather than pushing a thesis. That is her artistic strength.”

– Susanne Fessé, curator and art historian

Artist statement

I’m interested in the transformation of the current and the presence of the past.

My main topics are gender, human relations and faith.

For me, the camera is a tool to contemplate different human phenomenon to uncover what unites us – rather than what divides us.

I wish my photographs to be windows into other worlds, as well as mirrors reflecting back.
