Kirstine Roepstorff (born 1972) is a Danish multidisciplinary artist known for her work in collage, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores the "in-between" spaces of the human experience, focusing on themes of darkness, the subconscious, and transformation. Roepstorff examines how history, politics, and spirituality shape our understanding of identity and reality, often revisiting ancient techniques to challenge modern systems. Roepstorff has exhibited widely, including representing Denmark at the 57th International Art Exhibition in Venice in 2017 and presenting a major solo exhibition, Renaissance of the Night, at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in 2018. She holds an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Rutgers University, Mason School of Fine Art, has received several notable awards, including the Eckersberg Medal and the Ny Carlsberg Foundation Art Prize.
