The artist duo has worked together since 1999. Their works revolve around a committed and often critical addressing of the reality that surrounds us – socio-cultural, political and psychological issues as well as race and gender questions. But far from a dogmatic form it is a complex and elaborating investigation, where the artwork opens for dialogue with its environment. By imploding fragments from the visual culture of everyday life into new, revealing and often humorous constellations, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang comment on Western values. The duo works in various medias such as sculpture, ceramics and installations, with works or exhibitions that often have an almost physically integrating effect on the viewer.
