Reflecting the social potential of everyday-life, my art practice
focuses on human relations and interactions. The projects deal with
themes connected to daily experience, and relate to how getting
in touch with others somehow expands ones perspective on things.
I'm specifically interested in how social intervention art operates
as part of society. That is to say how art can be used as an integrated
tool to suggest creative solutions and new lines of action in our
daily life. I’ve studied at The Academy of Fine Arts, Århus,
Denmark 1996-01 and Critical Studies, Malmö Art Academy/Rooseum,
Sweden 2002-03.

Every time you connect with someone it changes your order of
view in a small or a broad sense. In this project daring to change
a small detail of their appearance the participants get to wear
a small poetic reminder of another - most possibly an unknown -
person. At a table people will be offered to donate a button from
their clothing. Berit Nørgaard will cut off the original
button & replace it with a new one that has been donated by
a former vistor. The replaced button might be too small, have a
totally wrong color or maybe it’s far to big. The participant
will have to risk that. An increased view on people passing by might
occur when the participants are walking the streets with this small
disturbance. Another is part of a chain of events titled Analogous
Hacking. The project consists of small interventions taking
place in the setting of everyday life.
