MARIE BENTZON
b. 1995

I am a danish visual artist and photographer currently based in Lofoten, Norway.

I work mainly with photography in different medias - collage, video, books - and I like to work slow, with gathering and with the physical in my process. I am interested in what we see, what is near me and how we connect with our surroundings.

Besides working as a visual artist I work as a freelance photographer.
