Sissel Marie Tonn is a Danish artist based in The Hague. In her practice she explores the complex
ways humans perceive, act upon and are entangled with their environments. Her work centers
around moments of awareness and shifts in perception, where the boundaries between our bodies
and the surrounding environment begin to blur. Tracing and capturing these moments often result in
hybrid, interactive installations and objects, where audience is invited to engage in a sensory and
participatory way with the stories and data at hand. She imagine her work as “training grounds”
meant to challenge our pre-configured modes of perception, attention, and sense of self, and shed
light on how our biology as well as our cultural conditions influence the ways in which we perceive
and subsequently act upon our surroundings.
