helle kongstad holm petersen

Graduated from Jutland Art Academy in Aarhus, Denmark (2022) and holds an MFA in visual arts.
Member of Corporum since 2025. The association of Danish Visual Artists (BKF) since 2021.

Works in sculpture, sound, print and text.
At the intersection of human >< non-human relationships, her work situates itself in the tension of plummeting ecosystems; grounded in a growing awareness of human-centric structures of utilization, of which perceive nature in terms of ‘value’ and therefore ‘usefulness’, as an isolated aspect separate from humans. Systems which reduce ecosystems to assets for global economics as well as technological growth.

Through quiet-fused dystopian undertones, she attempts to address our interrelatedness through speculative narratives grounded in research and reflections in areas of science, technology and ecology.
Further, she looks at forms of communication > tele-communication, antennal-language, frequency, non-communication in relation to non-human others and surveillance.

Ongoing; absorbed in weather systems/instruments and the operation of long-term ecological research.
