Through animated images of vacant spaces Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone questions when architectural features are experienced as seductive and high-end, unsettling or spooky—and how to challenge these visual codes. The video is an uncanny composition of liminal spaces; transporting you from dusty attics to ornate wedding-venues. Sound design by Juho Nurmela
The video installation In this corner full of plenty examines recordings of everyday moments and transforms these into graphic, moving paintings. It visualises exciting hidden patterns by carefully tracing and layering movements in the footage. The video distorts our usual sense of depth and perspective and invites the viewer to become an everyday-vouyeur peaking through small openings
Kinked is a flexible video installation that seeks to “kink”—bend, warp, curve and twist—familiar images of seduction and desire. By grouping and linking multiple video projections together in a single space, the images form a visual vocabulary, moving towards a new sensual semantics. Sister Let Me Up Photography: Marcel Miranda / Sister Let Me Up Audio: Juho Nurmela / Cowgirl Illustration: Beingobscene.
Part of the Eye Museum Experimental Collection
A series of animated sculptures which look at architecture as a structure of control. Midcentury classics are staged to represent a form of masculine desire, as jittering outlines of iconic chairs morph together and become breathing entities.
Bimbo-di Bambe-di Boobs is a frivolous investigation into the possibilities of recontextualising a misogynist trope and use the Bimbo as a powertool to denaturalise narratives of desire formed by white patriarchy. Nominated for the Gerrit Rietveld Thesis Prize. Design collab. Nicolai Schmelling
You Couldn’t Be More Wrong My Friend is a flexible video installation that questions the term eye-candy; a demeaning expression used about something or someone visually attractive or entertaining, but intellectually undemanding.
You couldn’t be more wrong my friend / If you open your eyes you must be able to see / There’s nothing sincere about me / I promise you I don’t have any depth / I’m exactly what I look like
Loosely translated from Suzanne Brøgger's Deliver Us From Love (1973)
A fierce match of visual jabs and backhanded animations in collaboration with artist Nicolai Schmelling. The site specific installation Backwards And So Forth was created for the wooden insides of Sociëteit SEXYLAND, Amsterdam
Hi Pervert! Be a good pet and join the club. Xoxo Princess. princessworship.club is a virtual experience made in collaboration with Marcel Miranda
Feline Hjermind (DK, 1993) is a crafter of moving images, engaged in shaping a unique visual language—an audiovisual handwriting. Having a frivolous yet critical approach to popular image culture Hjermind distorts, bends and morphs images to assemble new narratives. Her video pieces transport viewers to unfamiliar spaces where scripted behaviours are up for negotiation.
