Description: The book 'Hanne Lise Thomsen' offers an overview of Hanne Lise Thomsen's public art works produced in numerous locations in Denmark and around the world over the last 20 years. Drawing on the interventionist urban art that developed internationally during the 1980s, Hanne Lise Thomsen's work takes inspiration from political protest movements and the experiments artists began making with new media. By inviting many contributors into her projects, working with local residents and professional photographers alike to articulate these hidden stories on the participants' own terms, Hanne Lise Thomsen uses the photography of others much like a curator or film director, uncovering obscured histories and revealing them to the viewer in all their complexity.
