For over a decade Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen has been working in a variety of media and materials to create visual responses to challenges within today’s society. Migration and disempowerment are some of his main areas of research. Larsen’s work can be understood as visual anthropology. His film Promised Land, featured in the exhibition BELIEVE follows migrants in Calais, France as they attempt the highly dangerous and near impossible task of getting into England.
