Daniel Gillberg

As an interdisciplinary artist, I explore and seek to navigate the interplay of memory, space, and social connections within the tangible realm. Urban walks, archival studies, and personal history informs my practice, expressed mainly through installation and sculpture. Using ceramics, photography, text, and collage, I record the traces of human interaction, utilise discarded items, and explore spatial structures within the public space. My research seeks to unveil the latent potential and poetics within the everyday, probing the relationship between social and spatial aspects of the urban landscapes and the connection between nature and humanity in the Anthropocene.
