Terne Thorsen is a postdoctoral researcher currently engaged in studying unauthorized interactions with public statues and monuments in Copenhagen. She has been awarded the Mads Øvlisen Postdoc Fellowship, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Terne holds a PhD in Modern Culture from the Institute of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Her dissertation titled 'Breaking Creating: Contemporary Iconoclasm and the Islamic State' (2023) examines the Islamic State’s destruction of cultural heritage and the visual propaganda that illustrates their acts of destruction, focusing on the paradoxical relationship between the group's destruction and the production of images. Her research is fueled by a broader curiosity regarding the role and function of images, particularly addressing contemporary expressions of iconoclasm and their relations to art and digital media.
