ABOUT
Ellen Bjerborn is media artist born 1995 based in, and from Malmö, Sweden.
​
Her artistic practice hunkers under three ominous forces; nature, technology and religion, which permeate everyday life. Through video and text she moves closer to these obscured powers, the unholy trinity that looms over the human experience. She recently completed Diorama, a film looking at how the field of biology abstracts nature's processes into symbols.
She holds a BFA in Product design from Parsons School of Design, NYC and has exhibited locally and internationally.
