Kirstine Autzen is a visual artist working with photographic practices, text and installation to explore transformation.
In her work, she strives to opens a space where perception itself becomes active and exploratory, suggesting that new connections and understandings are possible, when things are unsettled, ambiguous, and open.
Conceptions of nature, archives, and research into the history of natural history mix with an interest in philosophical questions concerning becoming, growth, memory, and loss in a process-oriented exploration of both organic and human-made materials.
Her works carry visible traces of the process, as she creates alternative techniques to blur boundaries between analogue and digital working spaces.
Curator, educator and writer
As an extension of her practice, Kirstine Autzen curates exhibitions, teaches and writes about art. She has specialised in post-photographic practices, uncovering how artists can employ the flexibility of the photographic medium to counter and challenge commercial and mainstream visual culture.
As part of this work, she has been part of founding and running artist run initiatives, gives lectures and workshops, as well as writing numerous interviews and articles.
