Hagen Torjussen (born in Kristiansand, Norway, 1991) graduated with a
BA Creative Writing at Roehampton University in 2016, and has since
explored what a poem can be, playing with form through writing,
songwriting and visual works. As editor of the independent publisher Lik
forlag in her home town along with poet Atle Håland, she worked on
contextualising anthologies in collaboration with other writers and
publishing own works, such as her debut novel Elpis: en demonologi (Lik forlag, 2019), and later a children’s book, Sladden viser vei (2020). Elpis: en demonologi was written as a parallell but autonomous story, exploring artist Jon S. Lunde’s The Real Inspector, an audiovisual art exhibition.
In 2021 Torjussen had her first solo exhibition, Strekkeren, at
gallery Arteriet 51K, combining objects and sculptures with poems and
old frames, exploring lack of coherence in language by default. The same
year Torjussen started making music and releasing records with her now
husband Lyd. Sladden is their cat.
