Ollie Hermansson is a visual and performance artist from Denmark, based between Vienna and Oslo. Their works are expressed through body, text, drawings, and tactile gestures. As a performer, Hermansson addresses the audience in a personal, intimate tone, aspiring to create a moment in which the audience is genuinely involved with the performance. Their works involve stories about gender, love, and other queer experiences. Hermansson holds an MFA from Oslo National Academy of the Arts and has studied Performative Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. They are part of the new initiative and network Performance Art Norway (PAN).
