Charlotte Haslund-Christensen

The Artist as Explorer from NATIVES: THE DANES

Charlotte Haslund-Christensen is a lens-based visual artist living in Copenhagen with an international art practice aimed at creating space for alternative narratives and histories to those dominating mainstream media past and present.   

Her interrogation of representation addresses social issues with a strong focus on the political and historical role of photography and the media. Her art projects often take the form of fieldwork, resulting in works that subvert photographic and archival representations to investigate their role in framing and forming minorities and majorities. 

Haslund-Christensen’s work has been exhibited extensively both in Denmark and abroad, including New York, Paris, Gothenburg, Beijing, Warsaw, Helsinki, Buenos Aires and Casablanca. 

In addition to museum and gallery exhibitions, in recent years the artist’s drive to interrogate the history and role of lens-based media has led to an increasing number of commissions and works created in public space.

The work of Charlotte Haslund-Christensen is represented in major collections, including The Hasselblad Foundation, Leslie-Lohman Museum, The Danish Arts Foundation, Denmark’s National Museum of Photography, and Museet for Fotokunst.
