Emille de Blanche
*1981, SE
Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden
About
Emille de Blanche's artistic practice is characterized by a deep interest in the complex interaction between society, nature and technology. Through her sculptural works, she explores different hybrid states, where industrial production methods and subcultural expressions intertwine in an idiosyncratic way. Viewing the city as a living organism, she experiments with materials and structures in public space to explore themes of accretion and the relationship between society, machine and environment. Her works invite the viewer to reflect on the dynamics of society and our relationships with our surroundings.
