New photographs by Alma Egeskov, on view through June 15 at Holbergsgade 13, 1057 Copenhagen.
Alma Egeskov’s work centers around creating a moving presence within the still photograph. Mimicking cinematic structures, Egeskov constructs self-contained scenes where women appear as both characters and symbols, suspended between autonomy and observation. Her images evoke a world where boundaries between interior and exterior, agency and performance are fluid and unstable.
In her latest photographic series, The Day You Disappeared (2025), Egeskov explores themes of coming of age, loss, and transformation through the experience of a young woman. The images shift between reality and suggestion, presenting the female body in fragmented, intimate glimpses. Featuring mostly Egeskov’s sisters, the portraits unfold alongside imagery of fish, aquariums, and underwater worlds, drawing a visual parallel between the girls and aquatic creatures. Gradually, they begin to resemble fish themselves: drifting, changing, and exposed. The series moves through a space where girlhood flickers into something unknown, caught between disappearance and becoming.
