This video introduction presents the international group exhibition Who Wants to Live Forever? at Kunsthall Trondheim (17 September–15 November, 2020).

The group exhibition Who Wants to Live Forever? considers the dawing (im)possibility of immortality, at a time when biotechnology seems to promise never-ending life for the few while bio- and microbiopolitics control life itself, both through bodies and through molecules, DNA and code. The exhibition explores desires of eternal life in the light of material changes caused by climate change, as well as the ethical and political implications.
The video introduction is a part of the Kunsthall Trondheim's new mediation format, launched Spring 2020: video introductions of exhibitions with information for Norwegian sign language users.
