Crossroads- 140x110 cm. Ink on paper. 2009/2010

Detail

Storyboard I and II, Ink on paper 150x200 cm, 2008. Villa Troldmyr was demolished in 2002. Even though the house was listed as protected property. In the 1990s I used to visit the abandoned house. Later I found out that a man called Ole Troldmyr used to live there. Troldmyr was the first condom manufacturer in Norway. At Dronningensgate 32, downtown Oslo- he had a business, A / S Hygiene, which sold condoms and books about sex education. His house "Villa Troldmyr" at Voksenkollveien 5, was a 1500 km2 mansion with banquet room, secret underground entrances, a chapel, marble statues and all situated on a huge 5 acre plot of land. The house was designated a listed property but was nevertheless demolished and replaced with 5 apartment blocks in 2002. The house and the man was encircled with a lot of mystery and hidden stories.
