In this episode, Kristian Evju talks about his background in a remote part of Norway, the influence of psychology on his art, his time at Chelsea College of Art in London, how historical archive photos and research form the basis of many of his series including those of old technology and prisoner mugshots, and how all his works have a personal connection.
