Børre Sæthre

Børre Sæthre (b. 1967 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian artist whose exhibitions combine many skills, including those of the architect, the interior designer and the set dresser.[1] His installations comprise interconnected environments that take the visitor into a fantastic, dreamlike universe which is both aesthetically pleasing and psychologically disquieting.

In 1996, he launched LUSTLUX,[1] under which his spatial environments (incorporating walls, furniture, light, sound, and different props) are produced.[2]

In the past, Sæthre has spoken of his fascination with Freud's concept of "the uncanny". So instead of trying to shock his media-saturated audience, he draws visitors into active participation in his synthetic dreamlike worlds and gives them a true taste of the uncanny.[3]

Sæthre lives and works in Berlin and Oslo. He is represented by Galerie Loevenbruck, Paris, France
