Artist statement
In a world increasingly mediated by screens, algorithms, and artificial systems, our work creates spaces for encounters with something older, slower, and profoundly alive.
We gather fallen leaves, branches, seeds, sounds, and traces from the landscapes we move through, transforming them into enigmatic presences we call Ephemeral Beings. These figures seem to emerge from the land itself, carrying the memory of forests, coastlines, and seasons within their fragile forms. They appear onlybriefly, existing at the threshold between sculpture, ritual, and living ecology.
Through photography, film, and sound, we preserve these fleeting encounters before returning the works to the environments from which they came. There, they gradually disappear, surrendering to weather, time, and decay.
Our practice asks a simple but urgent question: what becomes possible when we stop treating nature as a resource or backdrop and begin to see it as a creative force in its own right?
By working with impermanence rather than permanence, collaboration rather than control, we create works that challenge human-centred ways of seeing and invite audiences into deeper relationships with the living world. In an era defined by environmental crisis, we believe imagination is not a luxury. It is a necessary tool for rethinking how we belong to the planet.

ABOUT
Bigum+Björge
Anders Bigum & Gry Björge are a Danish artist duo based in Berlin working with analogue image-making, printmaking, and expanded cinema.
Their work is grounded in analogue processes and hands-on craftsmanship, where images emerge through direct engagement with material, light, and landscape. Working with 16mm film, analogue printmaking, and plant-based techniques, they develop slow, physical processes where experimentation and material attention shape the work.
In their live expanded cinema performances, analogue projection and sound unfold in real time, forming immersive environments where process, presence, and transformation remain visible. Their practice approaches image-making as a material and embodied act, rooted in attention, slowness, and ecological awareness.
