Hanne Lippard

Hanne Lippard was born in England, raised in Norway, and after having lived in Sweden, Denmark and Holland, she currently resides in Berlin. She holds a degree in Graphic Design, but her work is conveyed through many other disciplines, such as writing, film, audio and performance. In order to connect this widespread variety of elements in her work, she always maintains one position— that of the narrator. The narrator always tries to give voice to its subject. Taking the statement literally, the use of sound has in the recent years become one of her main means of expression. The use of her own voice becomes a way of personalising language, and placed in a spatial setting it creates an omnipresence differing from that found within written language. Her way of combining text with image stems from her background in Graphic Design, but the use of sound instead of ink breaks with the linearity and the tactility of the printed matter. It could therefore be described as audible typography.
