Birgitta Lund was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1964. She studied at the International Center of Photography in New York where she lived and worked for 18 years. Her work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe, including Galleri Baudoin Lebon, Paris, Chateau d'Eau, Toulouse, and Phillips de Pury in New York.

She returned to Denmark in 2003. The move quickly manifested itself in her work and the conceptual photo-based project IN TRANSIT took form as a personal and geopolitical reflection on the transition between the United States and Europe. In 2005 she was awarded the prestigious 'Prix HSBC' by Fondation HSBC pour la Photographie in Paris and the monograph IN TRANSIT was published by Actes Sud. A commission in Paris involving architects Norman Foster and Jean-Paul Viguier was finished last year and currently she is working on a new photographic project in Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park in her hometown Copenhagen.

Birgitta Lund is represented by Julie Saul Gallery, New York.
