Earth and Me by Sofie Amalie Andersen is a film produced and presented for the first time at K4.

Encapsulated inside the gallery by a spatial mineral territory Earth and Me is a reflective cinematic essay about trying (but not necessarily succeeding) in finding answers and connections. The film is also a personal guided tour at the geological museum Earth and Man in Sofia (Bulgaria) that Andersen encountered by chance.

Her experience of being within the museum stayed with her. Three years later Andersen returned, this time with a camera and and an idea that had been brewing. But in her attempt to unpack the museum's many layers and document it’s impressive stone collection, distinctive exhibition design and dusty atmosphere, she was struck by more questions than answers. She asked herself: «Because when did what begin and why are somethings more important than others? And can you even see anything looking through glass and a camera lens?»

Sofie Amalie Andersen (b. Sorgenfri 1989) is an artist and curator, based in Nexø (DK).

Working mainly in the field of sculpture (with a special emphasis on stone), she highlights moments of fragility, tension and ambiguity. Merging traditional artistic techniques with ready mades, DIY aesthetics and diary-like texts, she sees to provoke an awareness of the interlaced material, emotional and linguistic structures that surround us in our daily lives. Sofie Amalie Andersen graduated from the Malmö Art Academy (MFA 2021) and the Oslo Art Academy (BFA 2018) and in 2022 she participated in the Maumaus International Study program in Lisbon. Sofie Amalie Andersen is also founder and director of the exhibition space SOL in Nexø (DK), from where she has been curating and organising exhibitions for a number of international artists since 2019.

The exhibition is supported by Statens Kunstfond og Nordisk Kulturkontakt
