Compiling more than ten projects and spanning fifteen years of artistic work, the book “Trine Søndergaard: 203 Works” presents the most comprehensive collection of images ever assembled in book form by the internationally acclaimed Danish artist.
Published by The Gothenburg Museum of Art and Fabrikbooks in 2020, the book “Trine Søndergaard: 203 Works” brings together 203 meticulously selected pieces, offering an extensive view of the multifaceted aspects of Søndergaard’s oeuvre. This collection includes the early landscape pictures in the “How to Hunt” series (2005-10), evocative interiors of empty Danish manor houses in the “Interior” series (2010), contemplative portraits of young girls adorned with historical headwear in the “Strude” (2007-10), “Guldnakke” (2012-13), and “Hovedtøj” (2019) series. Additionally, it introduces brand new images, published for the first time, alongside several other significant works.
Collectively, these photographs encapsulate Søndergaard’s career as one of the most influential contemporary Scandinavian photographers.
“Trine Søndergaard’s work contains equal parts of the everyday and the solemn. Since her debut, the artist’s production has been characterized by undercurrents of melancholy, loss, and the exploration of the image as a mental state beyond language. She employs a circular visual poetics in which motifs and themes from earlier works reverberate, creating meaningful connections. Taken as a whole, the artist’s prismatically fragmented works provide imagery for human states of consciousness and memory on both personal and societal levels,” describes Curator Johan Sjöström.
Curator Johan Sjöström, Danish author Merete Pryds Helle, and art historian Kristine Kern contribute to the publication with new texts that comprehensively and poetically delve into Søndergaard’s art.
