I am an artist and educator based in Copenhagen.
Through photography, video and performance my artistic practice revolves around themes such as womxnhood, labour, social construction of identity and of gender.
My research and practice are moved by my background in sociology and my personal experiences, reflecting on how we photograph and use photography, focusing on conversations and dialogues that can lead us towards a fair and ethical use of the medium. I choose to work with photography because it enables me to establish conversations with people in a non-verbal way.Through its social and relational aspects, it is primarily a way of connecting with family, friends and strangers on a different interactional level than the usual engagements.
Lately my practice has been focused on storytelling as collaboration, more specifically on how photography can be a care practice.
In my work care is understood as an action which implies some kind of engagement. By centralising care in photography, the photograph moves beyond the moment of the clicked shutter and addresses the relationships which the photographic encounter establishes or strengthens. Where photographing come to mean caring and community building rather than controlling and taking.
