Bli kjent med kunstnerne i A Female Gaze!

Janne Amalie Svit (f. 1978). Svits arbeid næres av hennes forhold til omgivelsene i nord, på et sted mange vil oppfatte som midt ute i ingenmannsland. Arbeidene undersøker det uhyggelige, uro og menneskets væren.

Jeg er kanskje seks år gammel, og går hånd i hånd med moren min gjennom sentrum av barndomsbyen min. I andres blikk ser jeg noe som fester seg i meg: avsky. Ikke rettet mot meg, men mot henne. Hun er alvorlig og kronisk syk. Disse blikkene er mitt første møte med det abjekte – ikke som teori, men som erfaring. Den jeg elsker og idealiserer, blir i andres øyne redusert til noe fremmed, noe uønsket. Prosjektet søker å utforske hvordan det abjekte – som teori og levd erfaring – kan gi innsikt i forholdet mellom mor og subjekt. Ved å kombinere Kristevas begreper med personlige minner
undersøker jeg hvordan vår første relasjon – til moren – både former og uroer oss. Det handler om separasjon, skam, kjærlighet og tap. Og kanskje om å hente tilbake moren, ikke som idé eller trussel, men som et menneske.

Grateful for all the meaningful moments of 2025.
Attending the @norwegianschoolofphotography Masterclass opened new professional paths and lasting friendships.
Joining @a.female.gaze_art and exhibiting with them at @fotofestival_oslonegativ was a truly rewarding experience — such a generous and inspiring group.
Being acknowledged by @magasinetfotografi and @gullsnitt meant a lot and gave real encouragement.
Speaking at @dokfestivalen and meeting so many thoughtful, engaged people was genuinely heart-warming.
Countless hours with my camera, new friendships, and new doors opening.
Thank you, 2025 ❤️ by @jannesvit

Hi again — it’s @jannesvit, final day of the @wpanyc takeover.
The last selection from 20 Weeks of Winter focuses on the threshold moments of the dark season.

Winter can feel still and endless — but it is also full of subtle shifts:
a slightly different shade of morning light, snow giving way to rain, or the first small return of the sun.

I am drawn to these in-between states — where nothing dramatic happens, but everything is quietly changing.
The images try to hold that feeling of slow transformation.

Thank you for being here with me these days. Thank you WPANYC for having me!

Hi, it’s Janne Amalie Svit @jannesvit posting here on day 2 of my takeover of @wpanyc. <3
Today I’m sharing work from my series URO (UNREST).

In this series, I explore the feeling of unrest with my camera.
It began with a personal, undefined worry — a quiet inner trembling — which made me curious about what this emotion might mean on a more universal level.

A few months after the project started, the Covid-19 pandemic arrived and shaped the work profoundly.
Unrest was suddenly a shared experience.
The streets were empty, the news was filled with images and words that unsettled almost everyone.

For months, I traveled through my local surroundings, searching for landscapes and objects that could carry this feeling.
There are few people in the images — only those within my small pandemic cohort.

The work moves between the staged and the observed, somewhere between fact and fiction — influenced by film, literature, and a curiosity about what it means to be human.

Hi! I’m Janne Amalie Svit @jannesvit, a visual artist from Norway, taking over @wpanyc for the next three days. <3

My work is rooted in my relationship to the northern landscapes I grew up in — places many might consider “the middle of nowhere.” My images often move between the familiar and the unfamiliar, between calm and unease.

Today’s work is from my series Bivring.
A project shaped by the experience of not fully belonging, and a fascination for the tangled parts of life.
A narrative without a beginning or end — composed of observations of what trembles, beneath or above the surface.

Bivring is a kind of visual diary, but not necessarily mine alone.
It is polyphonic, even cacophonous — where the beautiful and the uncomfortable walk side by side.
An attempt to photograph something unspoken, yet understood.
Images of the in-between — between objects, people, and nature.
The thin line between order and chaos.

JANNE AMALIE SVIT
A FEMALE GAZE
OSLO NEGATIV 2025

TITLE: «MOTHER - THE ABJECT»

I am perhaps six years old, walking hand in hand with my mother through the center of my childhood town. In the eyes of others, I see something that sticks with me: disgust. Not directed at me, but at her. She is seriously and chronically ill. These looks are my first encounter with the abject – not as theory, but as experience. The one I love and idealize is, in the eyes of others, reduced to something foreign, something unwanted.

In culture and theory, MOTHER is often presented as an ideal: life-giver, security, primal force. Whether she appears as the holy mother, nature, or Mother Earth, she is associated with warmth and necessity. But in theories of the abject – particularly in the work of Julia Kristeva – the mother is not a subject, but a body. She is linked to birth, fluids, boundlessness – to that which must be rejected for us to emerge as subjects.

For Kristeva, the abject is not something entirely foreign, but that which is too close. The mother’s body becomes the first site of the abject: both life-giving and engulfing, the one who must be pushed away for the child to become a self.
This work explores the tension between the theoretical and the personal: What happens when MOTHER is not just symbol or body, but a beloved person? When leaving her is not only an existential necessity, but also a painful experience? When the gaze cast upon her also reveals something about who I am?

The project seeks to explore how the abject – as theory and lived experience – can offer insight into the relationship between mother and subject. By combining Kristeva’s concepts with personal memories, I examine how our first relationship – with the mother – both shapes and unsettles us. It is about separation, shame, love, and loss. And perhaps about retrieving the mother, not as idea or threat, but as a human being.
