Davide Hjort Di Fabio Italy, b. 1990

Davide Hjort Di Fabio sees sculpture as an extension and expansion of the human body. Often made from materials such as ceramics, metal, and plastic, the sculptures' abstract and organic forms become a metaphor for a fluid and transformative identity. The sculptures have a performative expression that is often activated through other media such as video, performance, sound, and photography. In his practice, Davide also examines the representation of queerness through time by weaving together historical, political, and personal narratives.

 

Hjort Di Fabio received an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024. Recent exhibitions include Kunsthal Charlottenborg (2024), The Italian Cultural Institute (2024), Vejen Kunstmuseum (2023), Outpost (2022), Kunsthal Rønnebæksholm (2021), Galleri Bo Bjerggaard (2021), Den Frie Udstillingsbygning (2020). In 2023 he was awarded the Anne Marie Carl Nielsen talent award for sculptors.
