A questioning on the relationship between the self and the other: kinship and ways to “make-with” are a common thread in Pernille Pontoppidan Pedersen’s recent works. The other here is taken in every sense of the word, including both the living, in all its forms, and the inanimate. Oscillating between observation, wonderment, and fiction —including science fiction—, her work draws from her double role as an artist and as farmhouse mother. Biologist, philosopher, and feminist Donna Haraway’s work is a major source of inspiration. Her central concepts —the notion of response-ability, her theories on significant otherness and kinship*— blur the traditional lines between matter and technology, between nature and culture. Pernille Pontoppidan Pedersen is also greatly interested in the work of her counterpart, Sonja Ferlov Mancoba (1911-1984). The Danish modernist’s universe is held by the idea of a human community, beyond cultures, mirroring her fascination for non-Western art, particularly African art.
