Maren Bang works interdisciplinary with a combination of objects, text, film, and performance, oftentimes using the mechanisms of the field to say something about the field itself.
Experimenting with elements from theatre, she explores performance not only as a means for presentation but for production - embodying various narratives while crafting through different mediums and techniques. Her practice addresses topics like control, systems, narratives, and the idea of constructing and reconstructing identities.
