Obrestad/Dølheim is a Norwegian artist duo founded by Hilde Iren Dølheim and Linn Obrestad. Based in Telemark, Norway, we have collaborated since 2017, creating works that span a diverse range of media and approaches. Our practice is rooted in re-contextualization: we explore how objects take on new meanings when they are shifted out of their familiar contexts, reframed, or even disassembled. Our work is cross-disciplinary, merging elements of installation, sculpture, and environmental art, and is deeply intertwined with the natural world. Driven by an object-oriented approach, we engage with natural and industrial materials to highlight the tension and dialogue between human and non-human landscapes.

Each HILO- project is an invitation to slow down and reconsider our relationship with the physical world—its histories, ecologies, and vulnerabilities.
