She works across genres and experimentally, with an interest in challenging and expanding established genre conventions.

She has education from the Creative Writing Program in Bø, Biskops Arnö Writers' School, and Literary Composition at the University of Gothenburg.

Mexico

Alejandro (Mexico City, 1984) is a visual artist and industrial designer. His practice focuseson investigating time and movement as sculptural matter.

He produces kinetic sculpture and builds mechanical systems that organize space through rhythm, duration, drift, and transformation. He works with sculpture, light installations, and moving-image devices to make time visible: e petitions that shift, changing rhythms, and forces that reconfigure matter.He approaches the mechanical not as a closed technology, but as a poetics of change and its rhythms. Matter is understood as a body in constant dialogue with light, sound, and the environment—a system that never fully settles. This approach runs through projects such as Paisaje Mecánico (Museo de la Ciudad de México, 2022) and Dispersion–Interference–Diffraction (Epifanía Galería, 2023), and extends into optical-mechanical devices and moving-image experiences.

He has received support such as PAPIAM (CENART) in 2012 and 2016, Jóvenes Creadores (FONCA) in 2018, and the FONCA Program for Cultural Co-investment in 2019. He has held residencies in the Arctic (Svalbard, Norway), Hotel Maria Kapel (the Netherlands), and Acapulco (Mexico). His work has been exhibited in Mexico, Canada,Finland, France, the Netherlands, and the United States, including venues such as the Museo de la Ciudad de México and the Centro Nacional de las Artes.
