Crown Princess of Norway Attends Venice Biennale

HRH Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway opened the Nordic pavilion at the Venice Biennale today. Before the opening, HRH got a private tour of the pavilion where artist Camille Normen is showcasing her work. Her work comes under the title “Rapture”.

Later in the day, the Crown Princess gave the opening speech where she described the artists work as “the work Rapture by multi-media artist Camille Norment brings together many elements: sculptural, architectonics, performative and sonic. It explores the relationship between sound and the human body. It immerses the visitor in a multi-sensory experience.

Through her work, we are asked to consider the impact sound has on our bodies – on our lives. Rapture reminds us that sound is a strong mediator of cultural experience and identity. Sound is a gateway to knowledge and an instrument of power. Sound is a source of pain and joy, and has been used in markedly different ways – in different societies and that different times.”
