The world is a busy place, and it is easy to get lost in it. Her artworks pause moments of time, zooming in on everyday details that somehow seems to go unacknowledged. Moments that if not appreciated will disappear as soon as they appear. Creating different medium artworks over several platforms has allowed her to use the world as a canvas. With her work, Engelschiøn wants to offer a break from reality. A moment to breathe, re-charge, and re-focus, reminding people that art can be found in every small corner of the world. Enjoy the Silence is a video and sound artwork created when the temperature drops from 0 to -15. The formation in the ice tells the story of its surroundings before the Winter fully takes over. Under the starry midnight sky, the Winter frost slowly takes control of the landscape. The birds gather and loudly discuss where to go next, the lakes close fast while the trees contract desperately. All this in the stillness of the night.
