At Studio 207, the Perma/Soils exhibition brings together works that explore the entanglements of soil, ecosystems, and technology: Cecilia Jonsson investigates the historic Litlabø pyrite mines and their severe water contamination; Solar4Rain (NSA Collective, Maite Cajaraville & Gisle Frøysland) connects two distant ecological systems in a solar-powered sci-fi narrative of renewable energy exchange; Marina Otero Verzier presents the film from her installation Compost Computacional, recently awarded a Special Mention at the S+T+ARTS Prize 2025, critically examining the environmental cost of digital infrastructures; A feeling of longing that freezes and thaws by the artist Taylor Alaina Liebenstein Smith exploring the poetics of permafrost; and the Norwegian premiere of Umi No Oya (ウミノヲヤ) – The Mother of the Sea by Maya Minder & Ewen Chardronnet traces the legacy of British phycologist Kathleen Drew-Baker and her discovery of red algae life cycles, which transformed nori cultivation in postwar Japan.
