Thematically concerned with ideas of expressing and defining identity, visual artist Ingerlise Oellgaard produces ominously dark and eloquently beautiful and spirited photographs and visual installations. Through the lens of documentaritive and dynamic photography, she excels at capturing the power of hidden vulnerability and the process of continually discovering and accepting oneself. Her work evolves around gender, identity and activism.

Ingerlise Oellgaard is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

focusing on anthropological portraiture, i often work with the culture and identity of youth and gender. through my work i always try to communicate a sense of realism and fragility, because i think the power lies within vulnerability, reality and sincerity.

i always aim to capture the mystical and i particularly find rituals’ liminal power, the transiting factor, where everything is at stake, immensely interesting: this is where borders are being crossed.

i often use the same performative and aesthetic elements in my work and i always endeavour to create unique universes.
