Helene Sommer (b. 1978) is a Norwegian visual artist. She graduated from the National Art Academy in Oslo in 2003 and has since exhibited her work in galleries, museums and festivals. In her practice she is interested in the multiple levels of translation, interpretation and rhetorical devices that are involved in storytelling. Through video, collage, text and installation she wishes to question the way we understand and relate to our surroundings and its history. A common denominator has been an interest in overlooked perspectives within history and science. See www.helenesommer.net for more information about her work.
