Description: Discover poetic white, matt black and silver-tinted sculptures and photographs, in which body and sculpture come together in quirky, unsettling and wonderful expressions. Kalkau?s sculptures are characterised by their geometrically simple, light and pure appearance. Together with the artist?s own body, the sculptures often appear as props in her photographs, with the basic geometrical shapes? the circle, the oval, the sphere and the cube? forming part of subtle hybrids. The photographs look at the relationship between organic body and abstract geometry, between person and object.00Sophia Kalkau?s works are the result of unmistakably perfect craftsmanship. Their expression hovers between photography, poetry, sculpture and performance. They feature antitheses: seriousness and humour, everyday life and surrealism, cool abstraction and dreamy sensuousness.00Exhibition: Kunsten, Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Denmark (28.03.-11.08.2019).
