About
Mille Kalsmose is based in Copenhagen and New York (b. 1972, Horsens, Denmark). Working across sculpture, installation, sound, and image-based media her practice explores the relationship between matter, memory, and consciousness, and draws from both scientific and esoteric knowledge systems. Kalsmose creates sensorial spaces where inner and outer worlds collapse—where human perception meets the intelligence of the natural and cosmic realms.
Often rooted in personal experience and a meditative process, her work navigates existential questions about identity, interconnectedness, and spiritual transformation. She examines the inherited disconnection between humans and the natural world, with cyclical, intuitive, and vibrational structures. Her installations are not merely aesthetic spaces but initiatory zones—spaces for esoteric hearing, for subtle frequencies and inner impulses to unfold. Sound becomes a carrier for the soul, received not through the outer ear, but through inner experience.
Materials such as meteorite stones, iron dust, moss, silk, marble, water, and cosmic sound frequencies serve as both sculptural elements and symbolic mediators—bridging celestial and earthly bodies, past and future, the individual and collective. Influenced by indigenous cosmologies, sound healing, and Eastern philosophy, Kalsmose’s works suggest a return to a more conscious state of being—one that recognizes all life as expressions of the same animating source.
