EVA TIND is a Copenhagen based writer, artist and filmmaker with a critically acclaimed authorship behind her. She was born in 1974 in Pusan, Korea and adopted to Denmark at the age of one. Today she has a mother in both countries. Based on her education from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture she often manifests her novels, literary portraits and collections of poetry in the related fields of film and fine art.

Tind’s work can be described as world literature: When you move freely in the world you face your origin, your family and yourself with new eyes. Tind often explores the concept of origin and reflects on the nature of belonging and the way we forge our own identity – How much of it is shaped by our environment and what is internal, highlighting how the world can seem very different depending on who is looking at it and from where. Both fictional and non-fictional characters, themes and matter unfold in her stories and surprising connections appear releasing the fixed ideas of what is possible and what is not.

In 2009 Eva Tind’s first book Do was published by Gyldendal Publishers. Do is a collection of poems that mirrors a woman’s  Danish cultural background in her Korean origin. She published two more poetry collections and in 2012 she made her debut as a novelist with Rosenvej, a story about growing up in Denmark in the seventies exploring the concept of family trees. The novel Han, published in 2014, is based on a trip she made to the hermetically sealed nation of North Korea, the birth country of her biological father. In 2016 Asta’s Shadow was published. The book is a journey in the footprints of Asta Nielsen based on Eva Tinds private research, forming a personal portrait of Europe’s first film star. Her first all fiction novel Origins is about a family of three that parts in their longing for living a truthful life. The book portrays multiple stories taking place in India, Korea, Sweden and Denmark. Her recent book The Woman Who Joined Up the World is based on a true story telling the life of the Danish Entomologist Marie Hammer, who collected 150.000 invisible earth mites on all continents for 40 years. Marie Hammer found and named a 1000 new species and through her extraordinary dedicated research she ended up proving Alfred Wegeners controversial theory about the Drift of the Continents.

As an artist, Tind has exhibited works at, among others, the National Gallery of Denmark, The Royal Danish Library, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Göteborg Konsthall, Gangwando Triennale. As a filmmaker, she is behind the art film This Is Not The End Of The World and the documentary A red carpet for Asta Nielsen. Her visual and photographic works are represented by Banja Rathnov Galleri & Clausens Kunsthandel.

In 2014, Eva Tind received a three-year work grant from the Norwegian Arts Foundation. Through Immatriel Agency, several of Tind’s novels have been translated and published by publishers such as the Korean Sanzini, the French Gallimard and the German Rowohlt.
