Nina Beier (Denmark, 1975) works with found objects whose value has been shaped collectively across different time periods, generations or global realities. Hybrid and unstable, the selected objects are elastic motifs that are forever mutating in a continuous state of transformation. Following an interest in objects that carry narratives about the fundamental power structures which our society is built on, Beier’s work digs into cultural codes that are particularly layered and contradictory. Her sculptures unpack the space between the intention, production, distribution, trading and use of her selected material and explores how these factors have changed over time.
