Laura Dahlberg examines the human species displacement from its ecological environment. Dahlberg is interested in people’s need to distance themselves from their natural environment and build unnatural things around them. For Dahlberg, the unnatural implies the condition of not belonging.

Dahlberg works mainly with materials that activate the senses. The spaces and moods in her installations give new meanings to sensory perceptions that we often ignore. The senses of smell and touch can play just as important a part in Dahlberg’s works as vision. Dahlberg’s art is typically characterised by experimentation, motion and the use of technology, and she chooses her techniques and materials according to the work at hand.

Laura Dahlberg (b. 1991) lived in her birthplace, Jyväskylä, for the first nineteen years of her life. She currently lives and works in Helsinki. Jyväskylä remains her hometown, and the Finnish lake district around the town the home of her soul.
