Hidden in plain sight 
Duo-exhibition with Christine Clemmesen,
Arden Asbæk Gallery, Copenhagen
2024

Maya Schønning Kjærulff’s work revolves around editing and translation processes. As a digital native, the young artist re-frames found footage from the internet, alongside other sources, to explore the concept of privacy in today’s world. Kjærulff utilizes both texts and images in her textiles, leaving certain aspects hidden, whether these be parts of the content, the material, or the original source itself.
Private notes are recontextualized, for example when shared publicly as an artwork, and it is this tension field that interests the artist. By using photographic images as the basis of her weaving, hereby combining digital imagery and textile, the work appears both nostalgic and dreamlike, while also being tangible objects of the 21st century.
