Work

Since 2019 her studio has been based in Copenhagen, Denmark and is named Asterpile Studio after a poem in her first publication: BLOOD – The Poems and Archive of Rudolf Broby-Johansen, published by Kunstverein Publishing, 2020. She worked for 6 years on this project. BLOOD is the first English translation of the poems of Danish art historian, and writer Rudolf Broby-Johansen. Line-Gry Hørup translated, edited and designed it. Broby-Johansen’s poems are accompanied by a series of full colour photographs by Amsterdam photographer Johannes Schwartz, which document the trip to Brody-Johansen’s recently established archive. They were in fact the first to view it. Her book BLOOD was selected as one of The Best Dutch Book Designs and nominated for the Danish literary prize Schadeprisen.
