Annesofie Sandal’s work is strongly influenced by location and interest in sociocultural structures. Her sculptures and installations examine the thin line between exploration and exploitation in the production of cultural capital. She merges motifs and stories from different periods of time with existing shapes and materials to emphasize how the consequences of human behavior affect heritage and history. In doing so, she shows how the current exchange between man and nature connects past, present and future, and how the understanding of cultural, historic and religious symbols changes over time according to context.

Annesofie Sandal (born 1977 Seoul, South Korea) holds an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Visual Arts. She is based in Copenhagen and New York City. Her work has been displayed at numerous venues, including a solo exhibition at Rooster Gallery in New York City and Ace Art Inc. in Winnipeg, Canada.
