Danish Artist ~ Kasper Bergholt

Illustration: Contemporary Danish Artist / Kasper Bergholt / See Exhibitions

I’m Kasper Bergholt, a Danish artist, photographer, and poet based in Copenhagen.

In 2023, I picked up a vintage Nikon camera for a minor photography project, which led to more visual work.

Currently, I’m interested in poetry, time, triptychs, flowers, and chronotopes.

I hold an MA and a gold medal from the University of Copenhagen.
