Helena Öhman McCardle is a video artist currently based in Glasgow, UK. She graduated with an MFA from the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm in 2004. Her work deals with questions about our perception and experience of reality and the power of memory. Working with original and appropriated material in her video and sound works and installations, she re-stages or invents situations, personal narratives and acts that represent a recognisable reality – often infused with a certain surreal quality to emphasise an absurdity of everyday life or something uncanny within the familiar.
