ABOUT
Mette Colberg (b. 1981) is educated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, School of Design on Bornholm, Denmark and Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts & Design, Stockholm, Sweden.
Colberg's work explores transparency from both a material and an immaterial point of view. Her curiosity revolves around the paradox of transparent glass; the simultaneous absence and presence of the material, which gives it the potential to transcend spaces and alter perspectives.
With an urge to explore the concepts of transparency and perception through handcrafted glass lenses and photography, Colberg’s work unfolds as abstract photographic and sculptural compositions of fractured multiple viewpoints. It suggest an alternative logic and offers the viewer a room for reflection on ones own perspective and context.
Colberg's works has been exhibited nationally and internationally since 2006 and was selected to represent Denmark at the European Glass Context in 2016 and 2021. In 2013 she held a talk on transparency at the annual TEDxCopenhagen at Bremen Teater in Copenhagen.
