Simon Dybbroe Møller (Denmark - 1976) thinks with and through things. In his practice he digs for objects that are sort of blurry. Or rather perhaps, suspended in a kind of limbo between different conditions; objects frozen in a state of transitioning between disparate modes of existence. He is interested in objects and images that seem to have almost invented themselves, in such a way that - in his own words - they act as “nonverbal articulations of our collective subconscious”. In his photographic work he investigates the relationship between the most fundamental sensate experiences and the increasing remove and autonomy of representational media. In other words Møller's practice centers around the question of how we change media and how media changes us.
Simon Dybbroe Møller has had solo exhibitions at Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, Fondazione Giuliani in Rome, Kunsthalle Sao Paulo, 21er Haus in Vienna, Kunstverein Hannover, Frankfurter Kunstverein, among others. His work was included in the 5th Moscow Biennial, the 2nd Turin Triennial and the 9th Berlin Biennial and in group exhibitions at MOCA Detroit; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; SMK National Gallery, Copenhagen; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, and Kunstverein München. Since 2019, Dybbroe Møller has been a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' Sculpture School; he organizes the performance series Why Words Now and, together with Nina Beier, runs the exhibition space AYE-AYE.
