Born 1982 in Norway. Lives and works in Sortland, Norway. Studied at Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in London and the UIB Faculty of Fine Art in Bergen.

The Norwegian multimedia artist Linn Pedersen frequently combines landscapes with found consumer goods in her photographic works, blending documentary elements with an almost poetic brilliance. Materials and objects are anthropomorphized through deliberate staging, giving her images a narrative depth. Pedersen predominantly works with medium-format photography and also explores alternative photographic processes using analog photographic techniques.

For her works created for INSIGHTS in 2024, Pedersen utilized cyanotype, an old photographic printing technique. The artist photographed the oversized pipes at the Pipelife plant in Stathelle on Norway’s southern coast and brought parts of the PVC pipes to her studio. There, she created a hybrid of cyanotype and photogram using oversized negatives and the brought pipe sections. The characteristic blue color of cyanotypes, also known as blueprints, underscores the proximity to the sea of the production site, where freshly produced pipes are directly fed into the water.
