This year's festival exhibitor at Arkitekturfilm Oslo is filmmaker and visual artist Aleksander Johan Andreassen! The exhibition opens as part of the festival on February 27 and runs until April 6.

Andreassen's project “Ellipse” is based on one of Norway's historic shopping centers: Stovner Senter in Oslo. The project is a further development of the Centarium project carried out in 2018/19 in Mo i Rana in collaboration with Nordnorsk kunstnersenter.

“Ellipse” at ROM is a holistic spatial film experience that addresses consumer culture and explores artistic strategies in the semi-public urban space. We show six different films, shown both as film on screen and as film on canvas in sculptural installations. Andreassen is an artist who works with the performative potential and defining power of urban spaces.
