The work of visual artist Cecilie Gravesen questions the transmission of history and memory. Through installation of film and objects and with a subjective documentary method, she creates personal narratives by navigating through events, focusing on those that are overlooked. As with the story of an 18th Century outspoken female puppeteer, or the account of two identical villages existing side by side as a result of hydraulic politics, her installations look at the translation between reality and rumor.
