Term: November 2018 – January 2019
“Nordic-Leipzig” Stipendiary of the Goethe-Institut
Vibeke Frost Andersen’s practice revolves around the topic of landscape. How is the landscape (re)produced and (re)presented, and what traces can be found in it of political and economical processes? She uses publicly available datas and documents together with field inquires as both source and material for her investigations. The process and outcome varies – outdoor
interventions, lens-based representations, text and talks – as attempts to engage with the public
realm.
