BRYNHILD BYE-TILLER (b. 1968) is a Norwegian visual artist who alternates between a narrative expression in photography and participatory activities, exploring participatory methodologies and collecting and processing documentary material. Recurring themes are women's life and rights and migration, themes that comments on social and political issues. Bye-Tiller attempts to give a voice to those who are not heard, to break down stereotypes and boundaries between us and others. The dialogue between Bye-Tiller and the participants is usually isolated to local conditions. Participants use photography to clarify aspects of their life, of their experiences or environment. The participants are migrant women, asylum seekers, refugees, health care workers, cleaning workers, kindergarten workers and others. The participatory work are site specific, public and sometimes ephemeral. Partners are public institutions, organizations, associations, colleagues, groups and others. She lives and works in Levanger, Norway.
