Simon Dybbroe Møller was born in Aarhus, Denmark (1976), and he lives and work in Copenhagen, Denmark.
He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and at Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main.

Simon Dybbroe Møller’s practice tests the relationship between essential sensate qualities and the evolution of communication; how it feels to be bodies tumbling or stumbling through this world; how we change media and how media changes us. His work often concerns the materiality and physicality of things against the backdrop of ubiquitous representations in the media. He has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2024), Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius (2018), Kunsthalle Sao Paulo (2016), 21 er Haus in Vienna (2015), Fondazione Giuliani in Rome (2011), Kunstverein Hannover (2009) and Frankfurter Kunstverein (2009), among others.
His work was included in the 5th Moscow Biennial (2013), in the 9th Berlin Biennial (2010), in the 2nd Turin Triennial (2008), and and in group exhibitions at SMK National Gallery, Copenhagen (2022); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2019);  MOCA Detroit (2013); CCA Wattis in San Francisco (2012); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2011, 2014 and 2015); Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2011); MMK Frankfurt am Main (2011); Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (2011); Ludwig Museum Köln  (2010) and in the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2005).
