Artist statement
Nikolaj Fondt Salzwedell (they/she/he) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam. Trained as an actor and dancer, their foundation lies within the performing arts. Throughout time their practice has expanded into different mediums and methods as theatre- and film director, writer and visual artist.
A recurring characteristic of their works is radical expression in forms, attempting to stretch the nature of mediums and make them bleed into each other. Their making practice is grounded in strong embodiment, elaborate worldbuilding and slow-burning, mythological and psychological complexities.
Salzwedell is focused on creating spaces to go through pain in order to do collective processings as beings of this world. It is a call to surrender one’s self to allow for a transformation of the individual and to grow further as interspecies.
Obsessed with unravelling the enigma of self, Salzwedell explores deeply engaging subjects and themes that reach far within the intricacies of existentialism. Encouraging them-self and the people who are witnessing to reflect upon their own lives and become aware of life’s temporality, thereby attempting to become serene with death.
