Inger Lise Hansen employs a distinct camera perspective on her surroundings, capturing landscapes and human-made constructions that often do not claim attention. By utilizing various techniques, perspectives, and angles, viewers are presented with these subjects in Hansen's films in a new way. They come into view. This experimental approach has been consistent throughout her artistic career, and most of the films are initially created for the cinematic screen.

In the exhibition SYNE, this is challenged as multiple films flicker in the space simultaneously, influencing each other and our experience of their colors, light, and soundtracks. Harmony and disharmony emerge, partly due to the significant changes in film technology over the twenty-year period during which the films were produced, possibly reflecting shifts in Hansen's artistic interests. The presence of film technology also emphasizes Hansen's meditative, intricate, and sophisticated (technological) systems for creating new ways of seeing and experiencing. Alienation and recognition alternate. The juxtaposition of works in the exhibition space across two floors follows the viewer's own spatial movement. Some works hover between the floors, while others stand firmly in the room. The visual perspective is dynamic, inviting an active gaze. This way, Hansen's films come into view for the spectators, sometimes in surprising ways, even for the artist herself.
