Artist
LAURA KRISTINE GRAHAM ANDERSON
In my practice I work with the body, space and materiality through film/media art and performance. Thus, I work from an embodied perspective. Aesthetically, I value the tactile and the sensorial as well as visual precision and simplicity.
Thematically, my work is centred on existential questions. Or, alternatively, I make work from a desire to play with artistic form. In this way, I'm often inspired by other art forms or genres. As an artist, I aim to make work that expresses a sense of existential ambiguity, a serious playfulness and to invite the viewer into a space of contemplation.
PORTFOLIO

About me
Born and raised in Denmark, 1990.
I've always been drawn to work that sits in-between art forms and genres. At 18 years old, I knew I wanted to combine movement and performance with film - somehow. Today, I consider my BA in Drama as the foundation for my artistic practice: while at Queen Mary University of London, I was able to practically explore a variety of models for making theatre and performance. This includes cross-over work between live -and visual mediums, as well as devising.
As an artist, I have an embodied approach to making work, and I rely on devising/practical testing as my preferred methodology - supported by writing when appropriate. In general, I often find inspiration through stillness; through dancing and walking as well as through other artists. I am especially inspired by Maya Deren, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Samuel Beckett & David Lynch.
Since graduating in 2016, I have made live performances, video works, short films and photography projects. In 2024 I commenced an MFA in Film at HDK-Valand - School of Art and Design, Gothenburg University.
In addition to my formal education, I am a highly-skilled belly dancer, and I have several years' experience teaching dance, drama & creative writing to various groups of people. This includes young people who are neurodivergent or have learning difficulties.
