I am Louise Vind Nielsen (b. 1984, Denmark)
currently based in Hamburg, Germany.
English
Louise Vind Nielsen explores psychic spaces and mythological motifs through an often sound-based practice situated between play, resistance, and tenderness. Milk mist and mosh pits, deaf dogs and voice-hearing people, fans crashing against one another — her works create collisions in which free imagination and active intervention in the world collide.
Dansk
Louise Vind Nielsen udforsker psykiske spillerum og mytologiske motiver i en ofte lydbaseret praksis mellem leg, modstand og ømhed. Mælketåge og moshpits, døve hunde og stemmehørende mennesker, ventilatorer der slår mod hinanden – hendes værker skaber kollisioner, hvor fri fantasi og aktiv indgriben i verden støder sammen.
Deutsch
Louise Vind Nielsen erforscht psychische Spielräume und mythologische Motive in einer oft soundbasierten Praxis zwischen Spiel, Widerstand und Zärtlichkeit. Milchnebel und Moshpits, taube Hunde und stimmenhörende Menschen, gegeneinanderschlagende Ventilatoren – ihre Arbeiten erzeugen Kollisionen, in denen freie Imagination und aktives Eingreifen in die Welt aufeinanderprallen.
