Live Photo [1][2] is an artistic concept developed by the Norwegian artist Crispin Gurholt (born January 18, 1965 in Oslo). Live Photos are site-specific installations where the artist stages models in frozen positions, in real environments. The installations are live and open to the public for two hours. The settings are often trivial and ordinary – a bookshop, a private apartment, a street corner, a hairdresser`s. The models, posing in a frozen photographic moment, are viewed by the audience through a natural or artificial barrier such as a shop window or a sheet of mounted plexiglass.

A Live Photo starts as a live performance; the performance is then photographed and filmed; and later translated into paintings and texts. The films are recorded with hand held camera as a one-take and always accompanied by the same sound track. A low static sound alluding the inner sound of the body.

The subjects of Live Photo projects throw a critical light on society’s repressive mechanisms and power hierarchies, such as racism, domestic violence and issues raised by globalised economic or institutionalised structures.

The artist has created 27 Live Photo projects since 2000, in cities like Venice, Havana,[3] Rome [4] Cologne, Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo [5][6] , Tromsø, Lillehammer [7][8] , Tønsberg and Trondheim.
