eva tind was born in 1974 in pusan, korea. she came to denmark as one-year-old and grew up in låsby in jutland, denmark. eva tind kristensen was educated as an architect at the royal danish academy of fine art, school of architecture, 2001, which is the basis for her work as a writer and an artist. she was given the literary prize “klaus rifbjergs debutantpris for lyrik” by the danish academy in 2010. eva tind lives and works in copenhagen.

in her work eva tind reflects on the whole concept of identity, through verse, prose, dialogues, documentary material, pictures, videos, sculptures. the work explores the nature of belonging and the way in which we forge our own identity – how much of it is shaped by our environment and what sticks to us no matter what we do. the cross medial approach serves to highlight how the world can seem very different depending on who is looking at it and from where. the combination here of a variety of writing styles with drawings and photographs provides fresh insight into the collection’s motifs and moods. each picture, each text is precise and simple in idiom and form. the complexity of the work as a whole lies in the intricate interplay between one form of expression, one perspective, scale, genre, theme or language and another, between the personal and the universal.
