- **Event Description**: On 30 January 2026 from 4-6 p.m., Galleri Image invites you to a book launch of the artist book How to Become an Archive by Kirstine Autzen. The artist will be present.

How to Become an Archive is an artist book about the things we surround ourselves with: how they shape us, and how their loss can open a transformative space for new meaning and self-understanding. It is a book about beginning again, from fragments, memory, and from what can be imagined into being.

How to Become an Archive began in a local historical archive, where artist Kirstine Autzen found and documented a myriad of objects once charged with intimate, personal meaning: a christening gown, lace gloves, a family album. In the archive, these objects had become detached from their owners and absorbed into a shared field of collective memory. While working with this material, Autzen’s own studio burned down, erasing years of accumulated material.

In this book, Autzen examines how our identity is shaped through the preservation, organisation, and eventual loss of things and the role of photography and memory in processing this. The result is a tactile, hybrid book that moves between documentation and imagination — a space where absence itself becomes generative. In contrast to the static nature of archival logics, How to Become an Archive is process-oriented and open-ended: Autzen breaks apart the material, rearranges fragments, and allows meaning to accumulate through rhythm, colour, texture, and juxtaposition.

The book combines photographs, drawings, and short poetic texts that trace how meaning clings to things — and how the act of looking becomes a form of reconstruction.


About the artist 
Kirstine Autzen is a visual artist and curator working with photographic practices, text and installation to explore transformation. She holds an MFA in Fine Art from the Valand Academy and an MA in Visual Culture from the 
In her work, she strives to opens a space where perception itself becomes active and exploratory, suggesting that new connections and understandings are possible, when things are unsettled, ambiguous, and open. Conceptions of nature, archives, and research into the history of natural history mix with an interest in philosophical questions concerning becoming, growth, memory, and loss in a process-oriented exploration of both organic and human-made materials. Her works carry visible traces of the process, as she creates alternative techniques to blur boundaries between analogue and digital working spaces.
