Lover, Loner, Loser
In recent years Myntekærs work has concentrated on light as working material. Myntekær examines how light makes the world visible to the human eye.
She is fascinated by the duality of light as something tangibly and at the same time illusory. She tries to unite the physical and real with the transparent and imaginary.
Light has the ability to condense, intensify and dramatize the experience of the world and by doing so it makes the illuminated more present and emotionally relevant. Its ability through its illusory but yet real existence to manipulate and transform spaces visually and architecturally is the take off for Myntekær's environmental light settings.
For Art Room Snæversti Myntekær presents the work Lover, Loner, Loser for the first times to be displayed in public. She uses UV lighting as medium.

Myntekær is inspired by club culture, goth and cyber culture and very often uses high tech materials like fresnel lenses and magnetic fluids as well as minimalistic references like nano technology and knowledge-based systems combined with cheap electronic gadgets. However, the at times noisy accessories are always subordinated a wish for a general simple, intimate and intense atmosphere.
