Bigum+Björge embodies the newly founded union of visual artist Anders Bigum and designer Gry Björge—their artistic visions are grounded in their shared passion for nature, a deep commitment to environmental sustainability, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of art.
Anders Bigum is a Danish visual artist of Colombian descent. He brings a distinctive perspective to the collaboration. His ongoing artistic work explores interplay between reality and fiction, alternative photographic processes, experimental film making and manipulation of audio/visual live feeds—an embodiment of innovative spirit and boundary-pushing creativity.
Gry Björge is Danish designer based in Berlin. In 2013, she successfully completed her industrial design degree at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin. Her portfolio showcases a wide range of artistic expression, spanning sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, and textile art. One of her distinctive abilities is merging shapes, colours, and materials to create exceptional new objects. Her approach allows her to craft innovative and captivating pieces that ignites the imagination and leaves a lasting impression.
In their artistic collaboration, Bigum+Björge engage in an interdisciplinary dialog, that creates a unique artistic language. Their artworks resonate with the environment of the geographic location where they were created - channeling the voice of their natural surroundings and fostering a deeper connection with nature.
