Et portræt af den danske billedhugger Kirsten Ortwed (f. 1948), hvis praksis blev formet i en tid præget af konceptkunst og minimalisme. Ortwed har dog fastholdt skulpturen som fysisk realitet – hos hende bliver skulpturen konceptet, når den træder ned fra soklen og indtager rummet. Hendes arbejde fokuserer på eksperimenter med form, materialer og rummets samspil, ofte med relationer til tidligere projekter gennem genbrug af former og materialer.

Produceret i samarbejde med Ny Carlsbergfondet.

A portrait of the Danish sculptor Kirsten Ortwed (b. 1948), whose practice was shaped during a period dominated by conceptual art and minimalism. Ortwed, however, has remained committed to sculpture as a physical reality – for her, the sculpture itself becomes the concept as it steps down from the pedestal and inhabits the space. Her work focuses on experiments with form, materials, and spatial interaction, often referencing earlier projects through the reuse of forms and materials.

Produced in collaboration with the New Carlsberg Foundation.
