CHART Talks Podcast: Trine Søndergaard & Saara Hacklin

The camera as a tool to help us connect with other people and access different environments

Listen back to an artist talk with one of the leading voices in contemporary Danish photography, recorded live at Charlottenborg during CHART 2024.

For the latest episode of the CHART Talks podcast, we are happy to share a recording of a conversation between Trine Søndergaard, a photography-based visual artist, and Saara Hacklin, Chief Curator of Contemporary Art Museum KIASMA in Finland.

The conversation starts with Søndergaard's first experiences with a camera at primary school and goes on to cover her early days as an artist working with painting and drawing, before her eventual move to integrate photography into her practice. The discussion goes on to focus on the artist's work with museum collections, the balance between "dead traditions" and "everyday life", and the ways in which cultural artefacts can help us gain new perspectives on contemporary social issues.
