Transformation of a former World War II bunker located at the end of a 200-meter-long pier in Tromsø. The site lies adjacent to an area of the city that will undergo large-scale construction over the next decade.

A six-meter-diameter panoramic dome has been installed on the roof, offering a unique vantage point to observe the city’s transformation. From here, visitors can watch the harbour and its constant flow of boats, as well as the shifting tides, schools of fish beneath the surface, and birdlife moving across the sky.

Inside the bunker, a project room is being developed to host small-scale cultural events that foster dialogue on urban development and nature conservation. Volunteer divers from RISSA citizen science are already actively restoring the kelp forest along the jetty by removing thousands of sea urchins.

The dome, doors, windows, and stairs are constructed from reclaimed materials sourced from buildings currently being demolished, embedding circularity into the very fabric of the project.

An ongoing project across several locations on the island of Tromsø creates alternative nesting habitats for the endangered kittiwake.

Kittiwakes, once breeding in vast colonies on remote cliffs in the Arctic Ocean, are now severely threatened by climate change and shifting marine ecosystems. As food sources decline, many of the remaining birds have begun relocating to Arctic cities such as Tromsø in Northern Norway.

In the urban environment, they nest in large numbers on the façades of tall buildings, resulting in significant noise and sanitation challenges. In collaboration with scientists, we have developed strategies to attract the birds to specially designed mobile structures. These structures can then be gradually relocated, step by step, guiding the colonies toward safer sites where they can breed undisturbed.

A scenography created for the third part of the dance performance trilogy by Haugen Produksjoner.

The installation is constructed from 1.2 kg of LDPE plastic, resulting in a carbon footprint of approximately 3 kg of CO₂. For comparison, a return flight from Tromsø to Oslo generates around 300 kg of CO₂ per person. 

Søstre til evig tid (2025) is the concluding chapter of a trilogy created by and with the sisters and dance artists Anne Katrine Haugen and Liv Hanne Haugen, a collaboration that has unfolded over more than three decades. The earlier works, Søstre (2003) and Søstre 11 år (2014), traced their evolving relationship through time, body, and shared experience.

This production continues and deepens their exploration of connection, authenticity, and the weight of inheritance. Departing from the paternal lineage and two pivotal events within their immediate family, the work asks: How do we confront loss and the grief it carries? How are family patterns and unresolved trauma transmitted across generations?
Through documentary video footage, text, dance, and installation, Søstre til evig tid forms an honest and intimate reflection on sisterhood, memory, and the enduring imprint of close relationships.

Premiered at Dansens Hus Oslo on 30 & 31 January and 2 February 2026.

A new project commissioned by Festspillene i Nord-Norge to create a pavilion–sculpture on the now-abandoned main oil depot of Northern Norway.

The structure will extend an existing and much-used coastal walking trail along the shoreline of Harstad, offering both a social gathering place and a sheltered viewpoint overlooking the sea. Designed as protection against wind and weather, the pavilion invites visitors to pause within a landscape shaped by both industry and nature.

The former industrial site is gradually being reclaimed by vegetation, yet the circular imprints of the 18 oil tanks remain clearly inscribed in the terrain. The location stands as a powerful symbol of the oil industry’s expansion since 1907, as well as of today’s complex and necessary transition toward a greener future.

The design draws inspiration from the form of a collapsed oil tank. It will be constructed using upcycled materials sourced from the local marine industry, combined with native vegetation—embedding transformation, reuse, and ecological regeneration into the structure itself.
