The work of Jacob Kirkegaard explores ways to reflect on complex, unnoticed or unapproachable conditions and environments.
His works have treated themes such as radioactivity in Chernobyl and Fukushima, border walls in global and metaphorical contexts, and melting ice in the Arctic. Two of his recent works are immersive acoustic explorations into global waste management and processes related to when a human being dies. Since 2006 Kirkegaard has also been extensively researching, recording, and creating works using otoacoustic emissions; tones generated from the actual human ear. The core element and method of Jacob Kirkegaard's work derive from the use of sound recordings of the tangible aspects from its intangible themes.
