Larissa Sansour, These Moments Will Disappear Too, 26 September 2025 – 15 February 2026
Larissa Sansour’s largest exhibition to date interweaves current themes such as forced migration, inherited trauma and imaginary worlds through science fiction, opera and documentary material.
Past, present, and imagined futures come together in the exhibition These Moments Will Disappear Too by Palestinian-Danish artist Larissa Sansour (b. 1973, East Jerusalem) as it seeks to create a space for new ways of reflecting on history and the right to a home and a land. Sansour’s video works and installations address themes of loss and inherited trauma, exploring grief, memory and the ongoing threat of environmental catastrophe.
Central to Sansour’s practice are her poignantly beautiful and meticulously crafted film works, in which she blends layers of fact, fiction and political history with contemporary issues in aesthetically compelling ways. Visually experimental and richly imaginative, her works invite audiences to immerse themselves in alternative realities, thereby prompting new ways of thinking.
The exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg takes its point of departure in the legacy and troubled history of Palestine, while at the same time offering a space for reflecting on broader topics and questions of national identity, shared human experience and collective memory.
Larissa Sansour has lived in London for over a decade, and her works have been exhibited around the world. She represented Denmark at the Venice Biennale in 2019. Opening in September 2025, the upcoming exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg marks the first time her works will be exhibited on such a large scale. The exhibition comprises ten works created between 2003 and 2025, most of them created in collaboration with author and director Søren Lind.
Originally developed by Amos Rex, Helsinki, and curated by Terhi Tuomi, the exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg is supported by the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Foundation, the Augustinus Foundation, the Beckett Foundation, Dansk Tennis Fond, the Knud Højgaard Foundation, the New Carlsberg Foundation, the Obel Family Foundation, the Danish Arts Foundation and the William Demant Foundation.
