Art, Ecology and rituals (2023-ongoing)My artistic practice operates at the intersection of contemporary art, bio-ecological research, and traditional material cultures. Through sensory-based installations, monumental textiles, analog photography, and video, I examine our profound connection to the natural world and the ecological systems that surround us.Central to my work is a dedication to biodegradable materials, natural pigments, and traditional craft techniques. This approach is deeply informed by extensive fieldwork and artist residencies, including three years of regular stays and collaborations with indigenous communities and regenerative biosystems in the Amazon—built on more than 18 years of experience traveling to Brazil and its isolated natural environments. By treating materials not merely as mediums, but as living extensions of landscape and tradition, my work seeks to transform spatial environments and open up a somatic and sensory reconnection with the world around us.

"I DO, I REDO, I UNDO, woven entities" 2024Fishingthread, wool, denim, polyester, wood, metall. 2024. Group exhibition, Scraps, Thorsønn design, Oslo, Norway.“I DO, I REDO, I UNDO - Woven entities” (2024)Textile installation, group exhibition “Scraps”, ThorsønnThis work examines the circular potential of materials that have exceeded their original expiration date, operating at the intersection of collective ecology, feminist biology, and personal mythology. Drawing upon Louise Bourgeois’ spider motif as a symbol of repair and the weaving mother, the installation takes the form of a monumental, tactile network of discarded textiles.The work is driven by a radical zero-budget philosophy where all materials are found or repurposed: surplus wool from Gudbrandsdalen Uldvarefabrik—a landscape where the artist has deep familial roots—textile scraps left behind by Hviding’s mother who also worked with weaving, offcuts from neighbors' sewing, and forgotten leftovers from Startblokka. By weaving these elements together with materials from my previous installation ARR, the project itself becomes a living cycle where nothing is wasted.The intricate spiderweb functions as a spatial map of the biological premise that women carry eight generations of DNA inside their bodies. The intersection between femininity, family, and the web underscores how we, as a society, are inextricably intertwined in order to function as a whole. Here, stitching becomes a ritualistic and collective act; a manifestation of a greener art practice that challenges commercial consumerism and reclaims craft as a link between the foremothers of the past and the ecological necessity of the future.“The web and the spider, represents all of us intertwined in our generations, how women carry 8 generations in their body and dna. The intersections between femininity and the web. How we are all dependent on each other as a family, a society and as a whole, to function. As I write this in my studio, I look at the wall bathing in light, and there is a small black spider crawling on the wall. Sun flickering on her back, she's climbing towards the plant. She wants to build more. “ Jenny Hviding
Elvelangs, Oslo. Commission work, municipality of Gamle Oslo. The purpose of this project, was to invoke a sense of transformation, through textile and smell, during a Elvelangs, Oslo, 2024. Welcoming the audience into a lighter, warmer energy, in an area of the city that's normally left alone, without a lot of illumination, and mainly used by homeless people as well as drug users.The fabric installed in a manner as if a wash left to be dried in the wind. Shiny material for etherealness and a continuation of the wind, blending in with the sky and the sun. Infusing the textiles with different techniques of energetic cleansing, smell and incense. Leaving you to walk into an immersed sensory based installation, letting the viewer create their own narrative.The textiles were installed 3-4 meters high up in the trees, connected in one rope connection. Wood, metal, rope, textile, scent, incense, lights.Elvelangs, 2024, Nybrua, Oslo.
ARR /// (Refleksjon)ARR is a film trilogy from 2015 until now, where the three existing videos function narratively as a timeline in the journey of mental health. ARR is presented alongside analog 35mm photographs in a sensory-based interactive installation, where some motifs are also printed on cotton and silk fabric. The videos are projected into the space, where they are assembled and installed in a site-specific manner. ARR has been exhibited at NW gallery (CPH, 2022) as well as Sorgenfri (OSL, 2022), and now here at Neue Design Studio in collaboration with Atelie. ARR /// (Reflection) is the final part of the ARR trilogy, produced in 2023. The film and photographs provide the viewer with insights into the last phase of a kind of complete healing – the final stage where the profound highs and lows of the human mind are balanced, and a sense of ease emerges. Jenny´s work has been exhibited at Kösk Gallery, Tenthaus, I spy; Berlin, Kunstnernes Hus, Rådhusgalleriet, Lier Gård, Multicultural Museum, Cultural History Museum, art galleries, Oslo City Hall, Esperanto, Brutus, Cyan, Museum of Cultural History, The Holy Art Gallery - UK, London; Imago Mundi - The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice, Italy; Safnahúsið - The Culture House, Reykjavik, Iceland, to name a few. https://atelie.art/a/jenny-hviding-arr-reflection?fbclid=IwAR2bHNLvM4fBk4m5bZr2g5w4NAulJ9fdyLzf-wmUMnRr-O47cWcNzUL-y6k

Arr /// RefleksjonARR /// (refleksjon) project is the last part in a trilogy, made between 2016-2023. Made as an experience based exposition, a place of relaxation and contemplation. installations. Bringing nature into the exposition space as a way of connection to others as well as one self.«In a literal play on the name of the exhibition, (ARR) we used motion to scar the images. Using motion we also added the element of time. Giving the memory life. The scarring itself represents the distortion of our memories, and how we perceive them over time. Like missing pieces of a memory – or a distorted view of what happened. «ARR shows an outtake of an ongoing experimental project, regarding your own consciousness and presence in life, as well as our mental health. It explores what happens when we document and occupy spaces in between the duality of vulnerability, the edges, as well as the highs and lows. An experiment on how the lense can capture and transform traumas somehow; into something like a self help tool that makes the lows more manageable, more comprehensible.It shows 3 narratives, a before, during and after, all meshed and woven together. Nature is brought into the gallery room as an aid for the audience, to send the message about connecting back with nature, as well as an indication on what helped the process of healing and understanding. Creating from a place of stillness, to take the viewer into some sort of ethereal state. Working with giving the audience a sensory based experience.
ARR //ARR 11.8-21.8 2022. En utstilling som omhandler visuelle tanker og utprøvninger rundt støy. En hjerne som prøver seg frem. Sakte, gjennom bølger og under vann. Jenny Hviding is currently working within the landscape of nostalgia, nature and memory in her photographic practice. When everything is filled with something pressured and loud, where do you go? How do you perceive your surroundings while having the feeling of being under water... ARR presents a visual outtake from a triggered mind, that's living in between the duality of vulnerability, the subdued and hard edges, the highs and lows. ARR contemplates and experiments on calming the mind through the lens. Jenny Hviding Visuals is an Oslo-based multidisciplinary artist, working with painting, photography, fabric, video and sound. Exploring nature, memory, nostalgia, identity and belonging; through installations and other sensory based experiences for the viewer.
