Her creations are the result of a traditional craft, the notion of which Bea Szenfeld is bringing back. And her wish to make society more open and equal is also expressed in the exhibition.

Swedish artist Bea Szenfeld and her elaborate paper creations

The art of Bea Szenfeld brings together origami and first-class tailoring.
In collaboration with The Royal Swedish Opera and photographers Karolina Henke and Carl Thorborg, as well as the illustrator Stina Wirsén, surreal scenes showing the artist’s designs have been created: a ballerina swinging on a chandelier, a dancer in the arms of a paper monkey and singers dressed in her extravagant paper costumes. Along with illustrations, these and other photographs form the core of the exhibition on show in the concept shopping mall. Ceiling-height, large-format photos and captivating light installations create a magical setting for the selected creations.
