Kajsa Cello (Kajsa Ima Balk-Møller) (she/her) is a Danish artist and author based in Copenhagen and Athens. She works with installations that develops through concrete situations, materials, and processes over time. Her works emerge through collecting experiences and objects which are later transformed into spatial compositions.
Her practice focuses on how something very specific can be enlarged and displaced within a space. Small actions, encounters, or sensory impressions are translated into installations where the concrete is shifted in scale and intensity.
Materials are central to her work. She combines found and processed elements that often carry traces of their origin. Through accumulation, repetition, and displacement, connections emerge between objects that do not naturally belong together but form new relations within the installation.
She is particularly interested in smell as a way of experiencing a work. Smells are used to affect the body directly and to shape how a space is perceived. Smell creates associations and memories, and often leads the viewer to search for a source that is not immediately visible.
Alongside her visual practice, she works as a writer and cellist. Writing functions as a way of structuring and reflecting on the process.
