Milieu
Transit Art space
Elisnore, Denmark
28.02.25 — 04.04.25

My exhibition, Milieu, at Transit Art Space, located in the historic Customs House in Helsingør, continues my
interest in recording and responding to environmental conditions. The works build upon and redevelop the
methodology I have employed in former works, focusing on the integration of environmental and spatial
registrations and signifiers. Inspired by Pier Paolo Calzolari’s La Casa Ideale — a text and installation from
1968 that reimagines the house as a dynamic sensory and intellectual experience, where space is shaped not
by walls but by atmosphere, perception, and poetic engagement — Milieu explores similar connections, both
physical and metaphorical, between architecture, mythology, and the mental landscape.

Villa Sommariva, located on Nordre Strandvej in Helsingør, Denmark, was built around 1865 for consul and
merchant Schack Sommer. It has functioned as a site of leisure and civic importance and was later acquired
by Helsingør Municipality in 1913. The villa was known for its gardens, which featured exotic trees imported
from Hamburg’s botanical garden. Its history continues to be reflected in local developments, including the
construction of a playground and the ongoing Sommariva Development project by Pension Danmark on the
abandoned stadium field.

Arguably inspired by the Italian coastline—given its name and function as a site of bourgeois leisure—the
villa exemplifies how architecture and monuments construct memory through cultural signifiers. Now
awaiting transformation into a sustainable village, its shifting function reflects the ongoing reconfiguration of
urban space and the memories such places create, erase, and sustain. To highlight this conflict and the
dissolution of historical awareness, I am presenting an archival photograph of the Sommariva Hotel and
Restaurant, altered using Artificial Intelligence, alongside a patinated, eroded, stone-looking plastic chair that
I found at the abandoned stadium on the former Sommariva site. Atop the chair, my grandmother’s old
frosted mini-decor apples are arranged like relics, both chair and apples, loaded with collective memory and
shaped by their immediate environment.

In conjunction with the remaining components of the exhibition, including a video depicting an abandoned
nightclub and blurred, inverted iPhone photographs of flowers inspired by early American Pictorialist
photography, my objective is to investigate environmental registration and ephemerality through a range of
strategies. To further emphasize the different ways of underlining the sensory navigation of the environment,
I am using hygrometers, infrared bulbs, humidifiers, and a solar-powered LED parasol alongside framed
graphic and photographic imagery that I hope alters and decodes the experience of the exhibition space.

At its core, the presentation of works and interventions seeks to establish and examine what I term ecological
objects (inspired by numerous thinkers before me, such as Latour, Morton, Bennett, Harman, and Guattari).
These multi-dimensional objects are ontologically charged, embedded with remnants of their environment,
and function like a spherical mirror—reflecting everything around them. To illustrate this, I draw a parallel to
the FM radio, an essentially hollow device that transmits signals from its immediate surroundings, relaying
local radio stations based on its placement. The content of the radio, therefore, is both urgent and inherently
unstable, demonstrating the unpredictable, malleable nature of environmental influence.

I am particularly interested in how collective memory is shaped through urban artefacts inspired by artist,
architect, and writer Aldo Rossi’s concepts of cities as repositories of cultural identity. This perspective
informs my approach to landscape, where cities become palimpsests of history, mythology, and lived
experiences. I'm curious as to how shifting environments and architectural remnants mediate personal and
communal narratives. The directive of the ecological object offers me a lens through which to examine not only
the city’s ongoing negotiation between innovation and authenticity but also broader questions of historical
and political navigation. It presents a way to consider how narratives and ornaments shape environments just
as much as flooding, demolition, and the construction of new glass high-rises.

The exhibition is kindly supported by Statens Kunsfond.

Impressionisms


AAAA Nordhavn
09.08.24 - 16.09.24
Gl. kalkbrænderi vej 68
Copenhagen, Denmark

The show Impressionisms reintroduces the tradition of French landscape painting from the late 18th century and into the present by employing literal methods of impressions and marks of pigment from fresh wildflowers gathered in the urban space of Copenhagen and acetone printing on birch plywood panels. French Impressionist landscape paintings namely of flower fields act as a prospect of the very place they were conceived and not only address the environmental awareness of the time but likewise, embrace the political and aesthetic gaze constituted in which the minimal impression and fleeting images were congratulated in contrast to the predecessor of fixed and representational painterly practices.

These ephemeral images represent not only a shifted turn in art history but also a time when photography and various new industrial innovations were part of changing the narrative arts representation and literal role into a merely abstracted and sensible experience embraced by all artistic fields across the Western art world, among other; composers, the arts and crafts movement and the literary circles. More than a decade later, as technological and industrial innovations continue to evolve rapidly within an interconnected global context, the prevalence of fleeting images persists and new techniques may arise from this constantly changing physical and digital environment.

An environment that both globally and locally is confronted with an urgent crisis of a decreasing biodiversity, destruction of landscapes in favour of big agriculture and an increasingly evolving city where local communities are threatened and where real estate industries defines the politics of land and the fields that they occupy. To encompass and emphasise this notion and the definition of fields and categorisation of land, various speculative grid-like figurations are transferred onto the panels with acetone, a formerly by-product material used as a solvent, to emphasise the territorial qualities and the similar speculative notion of maps, fields and land.

The gathering of flowers takes place from newly established flower meadows in Copenhagen initiated by the municipality in which new seed mixtures at 11 different locations are intended to create food and shelter for insects and birds as part of a new plan to enrich local biodiversity.The collected flowers are then stamped onto the panel for their pigment to absorb into the plywood and thus create and underline the geographical mark from where they were gathered and similarly an abstraction of that very field.

The series of 11 panels seeks to function as a revised flower field painting in which the flowers aren’t painted but rather, used for their pigment. The work intends to represent that very field, following the trajectories and traditions of Land art where the land or field as a place, concept and philosophical notion is represented in various ways as a means; to understand, contemplate and partake in our common fleeing environment.

Land & History



Salon 75 @ Magma Maria 

23 august - 8 september 2024



The exhibition Land & History by Salon 75 at Magma Marie presents new work by artists Hedvig Greiffenberg, Christine Dahlerup, Frej Volander Himmelstrup, Sofus Keiding-Agger, and Theodor Nymark. The presentation of works unfolds and examines the metaphorical quality of the politics and poetics of land and space, imposing a revised gaze onto the ephemeral and transformative aspect so pivotal to civilisation. The selection of works each represents the positioning of the practice of the artists concerning these very questions and in their common field of negating a threshold.

Biodegrable bag, wildflowers, LED light and vinyl on wall.

The wall text is a draft from the book The Intelligence of Flowers by novelist and playwright Maurice Maeterlinck that became popular among pictorialist artists such as Baron Adolph De Meyer and Alvin Langdon Coburn for its abstract, playful depiction of the world of flowers and their metaphorical qualities and position in an industrial society which eventually inspired their work and the photographs of flower decorations.

Beneath it lies 4 branded bio bags from Copenhagen curled up on the floor along the wall that contains battery-powered LED lights and wildflowers gathered from the surrounding area of Magma Maria. These ephemeral and sculptural lamps wish to mimic a metaphorical depiction of energy transformed and generated within a biological compost system and similarly function and represent an encapsulation and mapping of the surrounding area.



Untitled 1-5 (after Maeterlinck) 2024
Inkjet print on Hahnemühle in clip frame and vinyl on wall.

The photographic series represents a new body of work influenced by the Pictorialist movement of photography in the late 19th century, which explored not only the role of photography in art at the time but also delved into the ‘blurry’ or unsharp image and its reflection on themes of ecology, industry, and spirituality.

The framed pieces exhibited at Magma Maria are iPhone photographs with either inverted colors, Gaussian blur, or motion blur applied, and are printed in color on Hahnemühle paper. By employing contemporary methods and techniques rather than the traditional photographic strategies used during the Pictorialist movement, the project aims to reintroduce the notion of pictorialism and its intention to embrace the painterly, abstract, and possibly spiritual qualities of photography.

The title and wall text suggest a reference to the novelist and playwright Maurice Maeterlinck, specifically his publication "The Intelligence of Flowers," which became popular among Pictorialist artists such as Baron Adolph De Meyer and Alvin Langdon Coburn for its abstract and playful depiction of flowers and their metaphorical qualities and position in an industrial society. This work ultimately inspired their photographic explorations of flower decorations.
