Charlotte Thiis-Evensen uses new media to create unique and empathetic human narratives. She utilizes a form of documentary based on the lived experience of named individuals, often working from the artist's own circle of acquaintances, community members, or children and teenagers. She is interested in producing work that explores questions of personal freedom.

Thiis-Evensen's photography, video, performance and installations are riveting in their calm observations of human relationships.

Charlotte Thiis-Evensen studied at The Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo. She has shown her work internationally as well as at local institutions such as the Lillehammer Art Museum, OSL Contemporary, and Kunstnernes Hus. Her films are screened at festivals in France, Germany, Spain, Norway, and elsewhere.
