Bio
Simon Dybbroe Møller (Denmark, 1976) thinks with and through things. In his practice he digs for objects that are sort of blurry. Or rather perhaps, suspended in a kind of limbo between different conditions; objects frozen in a state of transitioning between disparate modes of existence. He is interested in objects and images that seem to have almost invented themselves, in such a way that - in his own words - they act as “nonverbal articulations of our collective subconscious”. In his photographic work he investigates the relationship between the most fundamental sensate experiences and the increasing remove and autonomy of representational media. In other words Møller's practice centers around the question of how we change media and how media changes us.
