Maria Meinild
Maria Meinild is an artist working primarily in video. Alongside her use of the moving image, she creates installations and objects both separate and in relation to the screen. In her works, she combines methods from the worlds of film and theatre with investigations of the staging of everyday life, patterns of social behaviour, and our ideas of normality.
Maria Meinild has exhibited work at National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen; Künstlerhaus – Halle für Kunst & Medien, Graz; and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, among others.
