ABOUT LARISSA SANSOUR


“The iconography of national identity intrigues me, especially in cases where cultural heritage is under threat.”

Using science fiction as a psychological playground, Larissa Sansour’s practice addresses memory, heritage, and inherited trauma through film, sculpture, and installation. Sansour represented Denmark at the 58th Venice Biennale, where she presented Heirloom, an otherworldly rumination on memory, history and identity.
