FREJA SOFIE KIRK (b. 1990) is a visual artist based in Copenhagen. Her work spans video, photography and text and examines the inner mechanisms of images, and the ways in which we are constantly shaped by the visual, architectural, and linguistic structures around us, and the systems of power we are part of. Kirk’s video installations are characterised by their hypnotic affective force where captivating sequences draw the viewer into stories around power, architecture, commodities, fetishism, and the choreography of labour, challenging perception through sensorial and cinematic techniques.

Kirk graduated with an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024. She was the subject of solo exhibitions at Simian, Copenhagen (2024) and Inter.pblc, Copenhagen (2024), and has been included in group shows at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (20240; 5533, Istanbul (2023); Copenhagen Contemporary, Copenhagen (2022); Bianca D’Alessandro, Copenhagen (2022); Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand, Copenhagen (2020); Kunsthal Århus, Århus (2018); Kunstverein Wiesen, Frankfurt (2016). Her films have been screened at CPH:DOX, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, Oberhausen International Shortfilm Festival, Uppsala International Shortfilm Festival among others.
