Åsa Jungnelius Swedish, b. 1975

Åsa Jungnelius' artistic practice entails a material exploration, shifting between the monumental, the social and psychologically constructed settings. Through the physicality of the object she inquires how identities and bodily desires are formed and expressed. Her interest in body and matter is centered around issues concerning the constant re-negotiation of these two entities throughout human history. She broke new ground early on with her astute examination of identity politics and gender identification.
