In "A Requiem for a Reindeer," the artist uses a theremin, an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical touch, and a loop pedal to create soundscapes that gradually build and end abruptly — all while wearing a reindeer mask. This interplay between human society and nature lies at the core of the work, blending the seductive and off-putting, mirroring the impact of human development on the natural world with its unintended and frequently disastrous consequences.

"A Requiem from a Reindeer" was presented by Bas Fisher Invitational (BFI), Miami, Florida, and the Rogaland Kunstsenter (RKS), Stavanger, Norway, as part of Heat Exchange, a reciprocal residency program offered between the organizations. This initiative brought three Norwegian artists to Miami in July 2021 and sent three artists from Miami to Norway in May 2022 to research each country’s different approaches to cultural funding and municipal-artist partnership.
