In the textile collection of Bornholm’s Gudhjem Museum, Trine Søndergaard photographed traditional silk bows from the late 19th century that were used to finish embroidered neck hats. By taking the silk bows, isolating them from the collection and re-contextualising them, the artist succeeds in revitalising the museum-altered pieces in a simple and convincing way. Trine Søndergaard brings it to light again.
It’s soft, rounded shapes and shades from pale pink to purple refer to traditional notions of femininity. By showing it greatly enlarged and floating freely from the ceiling in the exhibition, Trine Søndergaard’s depictions of forgotten objects from women’s history becomes central to exhibition.
