Charlotte Haslund-Christensen

A common political thread throughout her oeuvre is addressing stereotypes and the role of the media - past and the present - in their creation. Her work as an artist has been analysed as operating at the intersection of documentarism, anthropology and social intervention. Whilst each project has its own conscious, visual and often staged film or photographic form – based on the specific historical or contemporary media it interrogates – each is motivated by her meetings with people, investigating the gap between their hopes, lives and dreams and the apparently incessant need for the racial, gendered or religious ‘other’ in a global climate of increasing fear. Her works have been exhibited widely nationally and internationally, and are part of both private and public collections including a collected artpiece at the National Museum of Photography (Denmark).
