Marthe Bleu (b. 1994) is educated at Oslo Fotokunstskole (2014-2016) and Bergen Academy of Fine Arts (2017-2020). Bleu writes stories with a camera. In a world where photo sharing of life's highlights is central, her focus is the darker sides of this addiction. In dim basement rooms, dark apartments, on beds, floors and toilets, love, loneliness and longing are depicted. Without a filter, Bleu goes from harsh contrasts to unclear focus, where the imperfect takes center stage. The self-portrait is something Bleu often falls back on. She is the one we can follow, like a red thread in ups and downs, friendship, sex, relationships and the hard asphalt of the next generation's attempt at life. Bleu is a voice for his generation and their search for meaning in a world full of possibilities. The Snap-shot aesthetic depicts fragmented moments and creates a true and honest image of our real reality.
