It is our pleasure here to present Elisabeth Molin as the fellow for the Graz Residency for International Photographers (GRIP) 2023. This scholarship, which was initiated by the Kulturvermittlung Steiermark in collaboration with Camera Austria, was organized for the first time in 2022, with the aim of offering young artists a stay in Graz in order to use Camera Austria’s research library, work on existing and/or new projects, and get to know the local art and culture scene.

Elisabeth Molin was selected from the more than 180 artists who applied for the corresponding call announced in the spring of 2023. Starting in mid-September 2023, she is working in Graz for four weeks. On October 10, 2023, she will present her work at Camera Austria.

Riboflavin-5, GABA, View Source is a reading weaving together a personal archive, a collection of materials, flashes from dreams triggered by high doses of magnesium—a trembling indistinction between them, reflections and encounters made during the residency.

In the last years Molin explored the ecology and infrastructure around digital images. It strikes her that we consume large amounts of images daily but we don’t have much language around how they act, corelate and inhabit surfaces, and although we participate in their stream by taking and sharing images, what kind of agency does that give us?

Elisabeth Molin (born 1985 in Copenhagen, DK, lives and works in Copenhagen) graduated from the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London (GB), in 2009 and from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2013. Since then, she has shown her work at, among others, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (DE); Wiels, Brussels (BE); Lock Up International, Brussels Belmacz, London; No Show Space London; PUBLICS (FI); SixtyEight Art Institute, Copenhagen (DK), at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP), New York (US); and at the Teachers College of Columbia University, New York. Her videos were shown as part of the 32nd Images Festival in Toronto (CA), the 31. Stuttgarter Filmwinter in Stuttgart (DE), and the 7th Medrar Video Festival in Cairo (EG). Her work has been supported by the Danish Art Council, Arts Council England and Hasselblad Foundation.
