Laura Hjort (b. 1992) graduated from the Jutland Art Academy (2023) and the Bergen Academy of Art and Design (2019–2020). She has exhibited at KH7 (DK), Haus Contemporary (DK), Kunsthal Aarhus, and Bergen Kunsthall (NO), among other venues.
One of the defining features of Laura Hjort’s work is the connections she creates between her small works, viewers, exhibition spaces, and works by other artists—based on the ecocritical idea that we are all equal participants in a vast network with everything around us.
She is particularly interested in exploring the power and potential of the humble and unassuming object. Through her small-scale works, she incorporates her surroundings into large-scale installations in which it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where they begin and end.
The works are often linked to other artworks in order to explore what happens when different positions of power and narratives are physically brought together in a diffuse, insistent, and at times convulsive manner.
