Nanna Erika

Bio

Nanna Erika (1996, DK). Her practice explores how humans experience and understand their bodies and positions in the society. She primarily works with performance, sculpture, installation, video, and photography. Through her works, Nanna Erika conveys vulnerability and intimacy in being constrained by a normative society. She often uses her female body as her artistic voice to highlight significant issues the world faces. She engages with the well-known feminist struggle, which remains highly relevant today, as political conflicts over the body as a sexualized or pathologized object force individuals into boxes. Nanna Erika particularly uses parts of the body, such as hair, skin, nails, and genitalia, to highlight or challenge cultural norms and reveal the complexity of the body.
