Larissa Sansour’s compelling exhibition from Amos Rex travels to Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen

Originally developed by Amos Rex and curated by Terhi Tuomi, the exhibition spans more than twenty years of Sansour’s practice. For Amos Rex, the exhibition’s journey to Copenhagen highlights the ongoing relevance of her work, which explores issues of national identity, shared human experiences, and collective memory. 

Works such as As If No Misfortune Had Occurred in the Night (2022), A Space Exodus (2009), Nation Estate (2012), and Archaeology in Absentia (2016) were previously shown at Amos Rex, while her latest installation, From the Remains of Those We Lost (2025), makes its debut in Copenhagen. The exhibition underscores the power of art to foster reflection, empathy, and imagination, opening spaces to think differently about history, trauma, and the possibilities of alternative futures. 

Larissa Sansour (b. 1973, East Jerusalem) is an acclaimed video and installation artist whose career spans from the early 2000s to the present. She began in painting before moving to photography and video, and her early works combined humour, activism, and pop culture. Today, Sansour explores political themes through science fiction and experimental narratives, often collaborating with author and director Søren Lind. 

Sansour’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Venice Biennale (2019), and is held in major collections.
