Nina Beier – “The Complete Works”

Performance in the Turbine Hall

31.8 2025

Malmö

Over the course of a weekend at Moderna Museet Malmö, the focus is on Nina Beier’s work with performance. Beier has the ability to charge the familiar with layered meanings, where personal experiences and inherited histories are intricately interwoven.

In Nina Beier’s work, a dynamic interplay between the material and the narrative challenges any one-dimensional perspective. In “The Complete Works” (2009), the audience encounters a retired dancer who, following Beier’s instructions, is asked to recreate all the movements and choreographies they performed throughout their career. The performance is not preceded by any rehearsal, relying solely on personal and embodied memory. Just as much as the piece is an intimate, introspective journey for the dancer, it becomes an emotional and complex choreography for the viewer. Dancer: Kizzy Matiakis
