Silje Ree
Who am I without the mountains and the sea? Inspired by the opening lines of ‘The Norwegian’ (1863), a national romantic poem by Ivar Aasen, Silje searches for her identity through language and memories after leaving the vast mountains of Norway behind to live in the bustling city of London.
Silje Ree is a Norwegian poet and visual artist based in London, currently exploring the interplay between words, languages and imagery through the medium of the book. Her work has been published and displayed in places such as 3:am magazine, the Poetry Society, 5th Base Gallery and Museum of Futures in London, and Lasso, Filologen and Studio K in Norway. Her two poetry pamphlets Melodilaust tone fall (2019) and E∩N (2018) explores code-switching between English and Norwegian.
