Kim Laybourn (b.1988) is a Danish visual artist living in Norway and educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo. Laybourn's practice includes text, video, sound, music, animation, drawing, sculpture and installation.
In his practice, Laybourn deals with transcending our notions of reality, and its inherent or adopted possibilities and limitations. Including the constructions and concepts that are taken for granted, as final conditions, brought forward by political, religious and economic ambitions. Laybourn works with the human-centric worldview and concept of nature, as well as the tension between the authentic and the unnatural, which influences how we approach everything from ecosystems and biodiversity, production and resources, to gender and sexuality. He uses this to form notions of a heightened reality, which examines the human position, by virtue of everything we touch, and which surrounds and shapes us.
