Trine Søndergaard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trine Søndergaard (born 1972), is a Danish photography-based visual artist. Trine Søndergaard lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Søndergaard studied drawing and painting in Aalborg and Copenhagen from 1992 to 1994 and attended the photography school Fatamorgana in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Trine Søndergaard’s work is marked by a precision and a sensibility that co-exist with an investigation of the medium of photography, its boundaries and what constitutes an image. She is internationally acclaimed for her quiet and powerful imagery and she has received The Albert Renger-Patzsch Prize and the three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation[1]

The landscapes and mirrorings of memory, silent inner rooms, and women’s occupations and roles through history are all themes in Trine Søndergaard’s works.[2] Her work is marked by a quiet emotion. In her photographic series she portrays rooms, landscapes, vegetation and people. With repetition and small displacements she lets the vision stop and wonder. The works create a kind of gap, a clearing in the existence, in which all stands out in a almost extreme concentration. Trine Søndergaard says: “With my camera I listen to reality”.[3]

In her work, Trine Søndergaard’s starting point is documentary and straight photography. However, her use of reduction and repetition transforms the work into a kind of conceptual photography, and the dialogue with art history is always present in her oeuvre. The ordinary and the ceremonious are presented equally, and the undercurrents of melancholy, loss and the image as a condition transcending the verbal also characterize her work.[4]

Trine Søndergaard has exhibited all over the world and is represented in several international collections among others Montreal Museum of Fine Art, Canada, The J. Paul Getty Museum, USA, MUSAC, Spain, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Sverige, Nasjonalmuseet, Norway, The Israel Museum, Israel, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, France and AROS, Denmark.[5]

Søndergaard is represented by Martin Asbæk Gallery, Copenhagen.
