THYR BJÖRNSON
HUMAN

An impossible name to pronounce in the sprawling English language. But not as impossible as the meta-crisis our species is facing, so why complain? I am a designer / writer / director / human / facilitator interested in what makes us shift perspectives / worldviews / emotionally / futures. Driven by ideas and questions of impact rather than specialised technique, my work spans from humours satire to dense poetry, from immersive experiences to traditional printmaking. Themes of worry / care / critique / discovery trickles between documentation and films, nestling tight to my heart and history. 

Attempting to be understood, this website seek to serve as a platform to connect with you, dear viewer / guest? / friend? / collaborator? through a selection of things I have done. 
My hope is that you feel surprised, happy, intrigued, and/or down to connect.

VOICES ABOUT ME
CURRENCY OF TRUST

WHEN: 2020
WHAT: Video
WHY: Poetic narration can co-exist with animation 
Hammered by an initial artistic design research into the loose legal structures surrounding Dutch non-profit organisations and their potential as conduits for tax avoidance, this film tells the story of my attempts to test the boundaries of the Dutch law in said subject. 

The idea was to try to set up a non-profit which was totally transparent in that its core mission was to be corrupt, investigating the institutional roadblocks and legal alleyways necessary to slip through in order to succeed. 

The result is a poetic recollection of a fragmented journey specked with questions rather than answers.
