| Ditte Lyngkær Pedersen uses various mediums such as video and collaborations. She is invested in deconstructing the intersections of the subjective and the objective perspectives, in order to pose alternative narratives and forms of representation in what we consider reality. The work explore the dynamics of language, synesthesia, identity, critical strategies and how the media influences our perception of our selves and the world. In conjunction with her individual work she has been engaged in a number of long-term collectives and curatorial projects, they include The Production Unit, HOMEWORK and the exhibition space ‘rum46' in Århus. She holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy, Sweden 2004, and several grants, exhibitions and residency programs. |
