Glimmerstøv

Vidéo expérimentale | mp4 | couleur | 1:37 | Danemark, Suède | 2022

“Glimmerstørv” is a video work about transness, inspired by cartoons like Winx, Ben10 and Dragon Ball, which are cartoons about people transforming themselves in fantastic, luminous sequences and becoming a more magical version of themselves. I work with creating digital realities that can act as a virtual utopia for queer people, free from the constraints of our physical reality.

Bio Noah Holtegaard (b. 1999) is a transmasculine nonbinary artist and uses the pronouns they/them. Holtegaard completed their BFA in fine arts from HDK-Valand in Gothenburg in 2022 and began their MFA in media arts at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen the same year. In their artistic practice, Holtegaard primarily works digitally, which includes image manipulation, 3D modelling, animation, AR (Augmented Reality) and video. Holtegaard's work often revolve around queerness and transness. They describe how they want to give a voice to those who have never had a voice before, tell stories about transgender people that have never been told before, and show bodies that have never been shown before. In their art, Holtegaard dreams of creating a queer utopia in a digital space without the limitations of the physical world.
