Madlen Hirtentreu (1993) is an Estonian multidisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture and site-specific installations. She finished her BA in Visual Communication in Milan Istituto Europeo di Design and graduated 2018 MA in Fine Art, Sculpture and Installation at Estonian Academy of Arts. Currently, Hirtentreu is studying Jewellery and Blacksmithing.
Her artistic approach is rooted in an exploration of memory, history, and materiality, often blurring the lines between archaeology, speculative fiction, and industrial aesthetics. Sculptures and installations that function as both excavations of the past and visions of possible futures.
Her work often take form of ghostly, hybrid fragmented bodies or abandoned structures, evoking the sense of something that once was but no longer fully exists. The work frequently suggests an absence or a missing presence.
