Sofie Bird Møller (b. 1974)

Four compositions from the suite “Interferenz”, c. 2011–13. Unsigned. Acrylic on magazine pages laid down on board. Each 29×22,5 cm. (4)

Sofie Bird Møller was educated as an artist at the Academy of Fine Arts, Central St. Martins in London and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. Today, she lives and works in Germany. Her artistic practice is often a mixture of performance and painting, where she uses her own body as a living brush to paint with.

In the “Interferenz” suite, Bird Møller paints over recognizable images - from commercial posters and magazines – with expressive, thick layers of paint that are placed strategically on the bodies of the models. The purpose of this intervention is to change the viewer's norms regarding the perception of the image viewed. The paint blurs elements of the original image to expose other images and bring a new reading to light.
