Dyveke Bredsdorff (b. 1989) is a Danish artist based between London & Amsterdam and graduated with a MFA Media from Slade School of Fine Art in 2018.
My works take a position from which both a language of love and criticism is pronounced. I am interested in the alleged neutrality of symbols used to represent the gendered body. I confront objectification and celebrate an expansion of the female form through a practice that includes cyanotype, analogue photography, 16mm film and sculpture. My practice processes our experience and being as people in the world we live in. The works often contain a duality, where the most intimate parts of the body, such as eyelashes and hair are inserted into vast landscapes of sky, sea and melting icebergs. This duality allows the viewer to feel themselves, their grief, anger and hope in and for the planet's climate change.
