Una Hamilton Helle
Una Hamilton Helle est une artiste norvégienne basée à Londres. Titulaire d'un master en photographie, son travail alliant documentation photographique, collecte, réemploi d'images d'archive et installation vidéo s'intéresse notamment à la manière dont nous forgeons nos identités. L'artistes explore plus particulièrement les subcultures, à l'instar du Black Metal, se construisant en marge des modes de pensées dominants. Le paysage, la nature jouent un rôle important dans son oeuvre où ils sont considérés comme des éléments primordiaux dans la construction de groupes identitaires.
Elle a notamment collaboré à l'ouvrage Black Metal Beyond the Darkness, et Black Thorns in a Black Box une exposition vidéo itinérante liée à l'univers de l'occulte et du Black Metal.
