Miriam Kongstad (b. 1991) is an artist based in Berlin and Copenhagen. Expanding from a background in choreography and performance, her practice is anchored in artistic research on embodiment and the human body, whilst materialising as images, installations, performance, sculpture and sound. Her work takes place in a social realm, depicting cultural and political structures surrounding the human body while honing in on themes such as identity, sexuality, health, desire, pain and pleasure. Miriam’s work questions how currents and societies are changing bodies and ideals; and how bodies and ideals are changing societies, by exploring the metaphysical, organic, social and spiritual aspects of inhabiting a body - the extended experience of being flesh.
