Helene Johanne Christensen is a writer and image maker. In her work, she is concerned with relationships between humans and their more-than-human co-inhabitants, the way we collect things and organize them, connection with place, motherhood, embodied knowledge and intuition, and how knowledge is shaped and valued.
She works at the intersection of poetry, art, and science and is inspired by anthropological methods, amongst other things. Other essential parts of her practice are site-responsive writing workshops, artistic lectures, and poetic and visual registration and documentation of place, especially gardens and their interspecies networks. She also helps other artists write about their art.
Her most recent books are the essay book Om kunsten at læse i stedets foldninger (2024) and the loose-leaf artists’ book Havens linjer, tråde & spor together with Peter Kærgaard Andersen (2025). Earlier publications include two poetry collections, Sammenfald (2021) and BLÅ (2018), both published by Forlaget Gladiator. A wide range of her essays, literary texts and collages have been published in journals such as Ambient Receiver – Journal of Creative Ecologies and Græs & Gyvel – Magazine for Ecology. She holds an MA in Comparative Literature and Museology from University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen (2017).
