Jeannette Ehlers Jeannette Ehlers
Jeannette Ehlers (b. 1973) is an experimental artist who lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Ehlers graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. She often uses image manipulation in her photographic and video based works. On these changeable terms, she explores meaning and identity, in both a sophisticated and immediate way. For years, Ehlers has created cinematic universes that delve into ethnicity and identity inspired by her own Danish / West Indian background. She challenges and explores the film medium’s ability to communicate in a visually fascinating and engaging language. Creating imaginative stories both with edge and sharpness, her work still retains a broad appeal. Her pieces revolve around significant questions and difficult issues, such as Denmark’s role as a slave nation – a part of the Danish cultural heritage that often gets overlooked in the general historiography.
Jeannette Ehlers participated as an artist in many solo and group exhibitions since. She was a participating artist in the group exhibition Embodied Spaces (2015) curated by Christine Eyene at Framer Framed, Amsterdam.
