BRYNHILD BYE-TILLER (b. 1968, Levanger) is a Norwegian artist and photographer based in Trondheim. Since 2006 Brynhild has produced a body of work that explores construction of social space by using photography as representation of marginalized populations, activism, a tool of participation, dialogue and learning. Her work alternates between individual work with documentary photography and an engaging practice with different communities. Among recurrent themes are women's right and migration.

She uses documentary photography and participatory methodologies to explore these issues and to engage the public in site specific and sometimes ephemeral projects. Participants have been immigrant women, refugees, asylum seekers, health care workers, cleaning workers, kindergarten workers, people with disabilities, next-of-kin and others. The practice is organized in projects, in collaboration with public institutions, private organisations, artists and others. Projects have been carried out in Trøndelag (central part of Norway), the Nordic countries and the Middle East as well as digitally. 9 out of 10 productions are presented outside traditional viewing venues, in an exhibition or in a publication.
