BRYNHILD BYE-TILLER (b. 1968, Levanger) is a Norwegian artist and photographer based in Trondheim. Since 2006 Brynhild Bye-Tiller has produced a body of work that explores constructions 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. Common to the individual and collective work is the use of photography. Among recurrent themes are women's right, social justice and migration. She uses narrative photography and participatory methodologies to explore these issues and to engage the public in site specific and sometimes ephemeral projects. Participants are immigrant women, refugees, asylum seekers, health care workers, cleaning workers, kindergarten workers, people with disabilities, next-of-kin and others. The work is organized in projects, in collaboration with public institutions, private organisations, artists and others. Projects have been carried out in Trøndelag (central of Norway), the Nordic countries and in the Middle East as well as digitally. 9 out of 10 productions are shown outside traditional viewing venues, in an exhibition or in a publication. Different materials and different methods are a central part of the practice and, to varying degrees, part of the final product.
