We are pleased to announce Henriette Sabroe Ebbesen s exhibition Kaleidoscope opening on Friday February 23 at Fotografiska Stockholm. Sabroe Ebbesen has been an outstanding member of out PhotoVogue Community, and we had the pleasure to publish some of her projects, such as Between Time and Space and A Summer in Love.
“I try to bend reality so the observer can experience something other than the reality we are used to; I want them to think about what is reality in what we see. Since I come from a scientific field, I often find myself standing between two worlds, with one foot in the world of science and one in the world of art,” says Sabroe Ebbesen. The artist, also a trained medical doctor, harmoniously blend science and art, exploring the human body, the psyche, and how reality is perceived through the eyes of the beholder. The result is a surrealist investigation on what we define as real, with intriguing play on reflections, illusions and mirrors.
On a conceptual level, Sabroe Ebbesen frequently places identity and the subconscious at the core of her practice, centring the study of psyche and senses in many of her works. This is evident in a range of subjects, from smashed faces and still life to contorted naked bodies, self-portraits, and video pieces. Her fascination with the creation of new, unexpected forms from bodies and reality, in general, stems, once again, from her scientific background, as she emphasises: ‘I have always been fascinated by science in general, and I love to play with the idea of manipulating the physical rules of this world. Mathematical structures, physical laws, plants, and so many other things from the natural world are so fascinating that they can seem unreal.’
Henriette Sabroe Ebbesen has exhibited her works both in the United States and Europe. She has participated in many exhibitions, such as Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling 2016, PhotoVogue Festival 2017, and Portrait Now! 2019 and has been profiled on Arte TV.
Sabroe Ebbesen’s works have been exhibited in many places in both the United States and Europe. She also has worked for magazines like Vanity Fair Italia, Vogue Italia, Australia, Greece and Scandinavia, and Le Petit Voyeur.
“Beyond Henriette’s unique photographic prints, we also have been fortunate to work with her to create spatial installations with ethereal fabrics and projections on both the floors and walls. These allow visitors to become a part of the room, where they experience the forward march of spring. We are thrilled to be able to produce this exhibition together with Henriette, one of the brightest stars among young Nordic photographers,” says Mohamed Mire, curator of Fotografiska Stockholm.
**Kaleidoscope **will be exhibited at Fotografiska Stockholm from February 23 to May 12.
