OUT-OF-SPACE

Mikala Hyldig Dal is an artist, curator and author based in Berlin, Cairo and The Hague. She examines visual cultures through video- and text-based interventions. Many of her works are installations, but performance, drawing and painting are also among her artistic practices. The artist is represented in international exhibitions, e.g. in Martin Gropius Bau Berlin, Cairo Townhouse Gallery, Nikolaj Kunsthal Copenhagen, Fluxfactory New York and Azad Gallery Tehran. Mikala Hyldig Dal is interested in the connections between image production and the destruction of images (iconoclasm), processes of visualization and invisibility and structures of power in the field of the visual. In the words of philosopher Jacques Rancière, Mikala deconstructs "aesthetic regimes" with her artistic works, her curatorial projects and theoretical reflections.
