Opening Talk: Art, Science & Fashion Through Henriette Sabroe Ebbesen’s Lens

New exhibition at Fotografiska

Kaleidoscope by Danish artist Henriette Sabroe Ebbesen opens on May 22 with a special ticket and on May 23 with a museum ticket.

Henriette’s work blurs the lines between photography and painting, reality and imagination, this exhibition delves into the human psyche and body. Trained as a medical doctor, Ebbesen explores the intersection of science and art. Her works act as visual experiments, inviting viewers to interpret the body and mind through their own gaze.

Ebbesen’s creations have been exhibited widely, both in the USA and Europe. Her publications include magazines like Vanity Fair Italia, Vogue Italia, Australia, Greece and Scandinavia, and Le Petit Voyeur. Ebbesen has been spotlighted by the editors of Vogue Italia and Photo Vogue as a photographer to keep an eye on.
