Madeleine Andersson’s (b. 1993 Sweden, based in Copenhagen) artistic practice proposes alternative historisations and speculative structures to expose and disrupt the psycho-social dimensions of knowledge production. Her multidisciplinary work across video, sculpture and performance blends together academic discourse, scientific instruments, pseudo-scientific excitement, social media and horror films in playful installations. This fun collection of things allows her to investigate the intersection of science and pop culture; their self-experimentation, quest of inner truth and struggle with perversion.
